    About this series

    You were once the bane of my existence … and now, you are the center of it.

    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.

    As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.

      WELCOME TO THE CENTENNIAL Every hundred years, the island of Lightlark appears for only one hundred days to host a deadly game, where the rulers of six realms fight to break their curses and win unparalleled power. Each ruler has something to hide. Each curse is uniquely wicked. To break them—and save themselves and their realms—one ruler will die. To survive, Isla Crown must LIE. CHEAT. BETRAY. Even as love complicates everything …

      wow. this is my first review on this app after listening to many books which i’ve enjoyed. but this book really deserves one! slow burning romance and shocking plot twists had me so excited to get back to listening after work every day.

      i found the first book hard to connect with but nightbane put all the pieces together for me and im so glad that i gave the series another shot. i’m absolutely obsessed and am so desperate for november to come for the release of the third book. i’ve already preordered the special edition hardback. i really hope to see much more of grim and isla!!
