About this audiobook
The exhilarating sequel to the #1 Sunday Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller Nocturna, about a face-changing thief and a risk-taking prince who must reunite when a deadly enemy threatens their kingdom’s chance at establishing a global peace. An epic fantasy perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Sabaa Tahir, and Stephanie Garber.
After joining forces to save Castallan from an ancient magical evil, Alfie and Finn haven’t seen each other in months. Alfie is finally stepping up to his role as heir and preparing for an International Peace Summit, while Finn is traveling and reveling in her newfound freedom from Ignacio.
That is, until she’s unexpectedly installed as the new leader of one of Castallan’s powerful crime syndicates.
Just when Finn finds herself back in San Cristobal, Alfie’s plans are also derailed. The mysterious organization responsible for his brother’s murder has resurfaced—and their newest target is the summit. And when these events converge, Finn and Alfie are once again forced to work together to follow the assassins’ trail and preserve Castallan’s hopes for peace with Englass.
But will they be able to stop these sinister foes before a new war threatens their kingdom?
Editor's Note
Even better than the first…
The rare sequel that matches — or possibly even exceeds — its predecessor. The kingdom of Castallan is once again under threat, this time from a large crime syndicate that’s targeting the next International Peace Summit. It’s up to a brave prince and a shifty thief to save the day.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I was excited for this book after throughly enjoying the first book in the series, Nocturna. I would recommend that you read Nocturna and leave the story as is. Oculta is the slowest of burns and doesn’t add anything to the story of the characters.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thought it was a great second book with strong protagonists. While I’m not a fan of cliffhangers, I didn’t see this one coming and was pleasantly surprised. If you liked Nocturna, you will probably enjoy Occulta. Plenty of blood and gore, more world building, overall well crafted in my humble opinion.
