Illuminance

The Unraveled Fate Series, Book 2

A brewing war and a prophecy to doom them all.

Lu's life as she knows it is over. Her wishes for freedom have finally come to fruition, but at what cost? Her worst nightmares have become reality as monsters, fae, and dark magic corrupt the only home she's ever known.

Old, broken memories come to light, and the war from long ago seems doomed to repeat itself, with Lu stuck in the middle. Torn between her prince and the man she once called her enemy, she's left with questions she can't answer. The scales threaten to tip when the Goddess of Vengeance puts Lu's hard-won freedom more at risk than ever.

When an ancient prophecy warns of war, she must learn to control her magic before it's too late. With all eyes on her, Lu will have to prove herself to her kingdom—or lose everything, and everyone, she loves.

Two kingdoms, divided by hate and corruption. Will darkness win?

Illuminance is the second book in The Unraveled Fate Series, a romantic fantasy that follows Lu, a strong, sassy, and independent female character in the fight for her freedom. This epic tale of enemies-to-lovers and found family is perfect for fans of high-stakes, magic training, warring kingdoms, dragons and deadly creatures, witty banter, and romantic tension. This series is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and The Witcher.

EVEN BETTER THAN LUNARIA

Book 2 was better! I love this for us?! Now in a perpetual book hangover until Book 3 is released! The slow burn was SLOW. BURNING. The character growth. The badass women. The cinnamon roll fire wielding “you hurt her, you’re dead” MMC. THE WYVERN SURPRISE. Gah. I loved it all.

Pretty good storyline

Being an avid audiobook listener, the storyline was enough to keep my attention but both the reader in the author seemed pretty amateur. The reader pauses and slows down at odd times making it difficult to focus on the storyline. Plus her ability to maintain character’s tones is lacking. Maybe with some practice both the reader and author could be better, but I wish production would have caught this and spent more time making sure there is consistency throughout the series.

Hurry with the next one

I did quite a bit of screaming while reading. But i can’t Believe i just got the second book and finished it dying for the next one.

Deliriously good--Beware the maddening cliffhanger!

Holy smokes.... This series hits all the best points of fantasy, slow burn, & fates! the narration was such a perfect fit that I blew through the entire series in three days. I bought last book 2.5 without realizing it is a prequel, but it held me over for a short time Now I'm basically foaming at the mouth, feening for Book 3!!!!

I need the next book ASAFP

I like the descriptive writing and I liked the character development but mainly I just like being immersed in the authors imagination. I’m really looking forward to books 3 and four.
