Their love could save the world—or burn it down.
In Chloe C. Peñaranda’s final instalment of the Nytefall trilogy The Dark is Descending, Star Maiden Astraea is reeling from a shocking betrayal and must race against time to break the curse imprisoning her lover, Nyte. The only way to save him may be to ally with a deadly threat. As daylight fades and devastation looms, Astraea and her companions embark on a quest to recover the Maiden’s shattered key—the only weapon that can slay the gods threatening their mortal world. As the blood that binds them becomes a weapon to end them all, two star-crossed lovers must surrender to fate or make the ultimate sacrifice.
In Jean Kwok’s Dominion, Rubi Morningtail has no past and warrior Blake Axefire has no future. Three years after the Annihilation destroyed her homeland and shattered her memories, Rubi lives as an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger, scraping by as a ribbon dancer and hiding her little bit of singing magic. When she draws the notice of Blake, leader of the royal tyger warriors, he is the last man she should trust. Cast into the brutal Bonding, Rubi does the unthinkable: she survives. Now she’s stuck on Blake’s elite team racing to reseal the Anchors to the demon realm, while resisting her dangerous attraction to the ruthless warrior who could be her redemption—or her ruin.
