Back in Grim’s castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two. Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king. As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle’s final prophecy and change her heartrending fate.

Isla Crown ha decidido trazar su propio destino y acabar, ella misma, con Lark, su insidiosa antecesora. Sin embargo, por el camino se dará cuenta de que Skyshade es mucho más peligroso de lo que esperaba. Oro y Grim, por su parte, tendrán que unir sus fuerzas, pues jamás podrían dejarla sola en el camino hacia una muerte asegurada. ¿Serán capaces, estos dos grandes enemigos, de dejar a un lado las traiciones del pasado? Y lo más importante, ¿conseguirá Isla saber qué quiere su corazón roto?

Isla Crown has charted a new destiny and leapt into the unknown, determined to defeat her insidious ancestor, Lark, no matter the cost. But Skyshade is nothing like she anticipated, and she’ll have to use all of her skills just to survive, let alone end Lark for good. Meanwhile, Grim and Oro would sooner set fire to their own kingdoms than leave Isla stranded on a path toward certain death. But getting her back will involve forging an alliance—if they can find a way to forgive their long history of betrayals.

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned.

La tensión entre Oro y Grim ha acabado desembocando en una guerra entre los reinos. Mientras tanto, Isla tendrá que luchar contra un corazón dividido en dos y enfrentarse al aterrador futuro que le mostró la profecía. Sabe que tiene el poder de la destrucción absoluta, pero también de la única posibilidad de salvación ante lo que se cierne sobre ellos: una amenaza nunca antes vista.

Isla Crown ha ganado el amor de dos poderosos gobernantes y ha roto las maldiciones que plagaron los seis reinos durante siglos, pero los verdaderos orígenes de sus poderes son desconocidos. Ahora, a raíz de una terrible traición, Isla a menudo se distrae con las seductoras atracciones de Lightlark en vez de cumplir con su deber como líder de sus reinos. Peor aún, los otros gobernantes no han aceptado su victoria, o no creen que se haya ganado su ascenso al poder.

This novel—told from Grim’s perspective—gives listeners insight into his past: the motivations and events that cemented his fate as Isla’s eventual love interest. It includes key moments from the ruler’s love story with Isla, told in his own voice. Grim is certain to thrill listeners and test allegiances, leaving new and longtime fans second-guessing who they’re rooting for in the breathtaking battle for Isla’s heart.

The novel is narrated by Oro and offers a window into his complex identity: that of a king torn between desire for justice and passion for the woman he loves more than anything. It includes key moments from the ruler’s love story with Isla, told in his own voice.

Da TikTok alle vette più alte delle classifiche di tutto il mondo, "Lightlark" è il fantasy del momento. "Siete circondata da bugie e bugiardi, Isla Crown." Ogni cento anni, l'isola di Lightlark appare per ospitare il Centennale, una sfida mortale a cui sono invitati a partecipare sei sovrani di altrettanti regni - Natura, Stelle, Luna, Cielo, Sole e Ombre della Notte -, che hanno così la possibilità di spezzare le maledizioni che da secoli schiacciano i loro popoli, conquistando un potere senza eguali. Ma a un prezzo: uno di loro deve morire.

Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray...even as love complicates everything. 

Twelve-year-old Tor Luna was born with a leadership emblem, just like his mother. But he hates his mark and is determined to choose a different path for himself. So, on the annual New Year's Eve celebration, where Emblemites throw their wishes into a bonfire in the hopes of having them granted, Tor wishes for a different power. The next morning Tor wakes up to discover a new marking on his skin...the symbol of a curse that has shortened his lifeline, giving him only a week before an untimely death. 

Tor is adjusting to life with the power of the Night Witch, especially with his best friends, Engle and Melda, by his side. But when a mysterious girl washes up on shore claiming a band of cursed pirates is on their way to Emblem Island, life changes fast. The girl, Gemma, is from an underwater city that was destroyed by the terrible Calavera pirates, and she warns Tor they are now on their way to his home. The trio of friends must come up with a plan to stop the pirates from getting an ancient relic that would give them the ability to control the high seas.

Das Drehbuch für einen großen Film zu schreiben, ist für Elle die Chance ihres Lebens. Das einzige Problem? Sie leidet seit Monaten an einer Schreibblockade, und die Deadline am Ende des Sommers rückt unaufhaltsam näher. Auf der Suche nach Inspiration zieht Elle für den Sommer zurück nach New York, wo der Film spielen wird.
