Freedom comes at a cost, and Davyna was willing to pay.

But after a strange encounter, she rushes back to Valyner and realizes that this game is far from over. Now, she must face the consequences of her actions that threaten her realm's very existence.

In a race against time, she must confront her inner demons to save her people, and seek the answers she needs to stop the impending war.

Loss will be her friend. Betrayal will be her follower. And love will be her fight.

But will her light triumph over the darkness inside? Or will she lose herself and accept that she was destined for Hell all along?

Contains mature themes.

Very Dramatic and Dark

I don't usually like to give less than 5 stars if I fully enjoyed a book. However, there were things I found distracting enough to subtract a half. So this is a 4.5 stars for me, but these rating systems don't allow for that. The woman narrator was okay, I found the way she portrayed characters "yelling" or even just voice changes a little cringe. Normally I don't mind the "male" voices women do but this narrator's didn't seem to change much between male and female characters. The Guy narrator was fantastic to listen to for all the males voices and the rest of the narration, he also did a little better with the female voices.

As for the story, this was definitely a lot darker. I have read things of people claiming it's too much like ACOTAR, I can see SOME similarities but not to the point of issue. It feels like the Author pulls from many inspirations, 'Vampire Diaries', the Marvel Universe, maybe ACOTAR and The Crescent City Series; all of these came to mind ad I made my way through. All in all, I enjoyed and I look forward to finding out what happens next for Davyna, Kade, and Gang.

Oh, many occasions involving tears, so maybe have some tissues available.
