Lightwing (Book 2 in the Crown of Hearts & Chaos series)
by Caroline Peckham , Susanne Valenti
Synopsis
Never listen to the pleas of the dead. Never betray the oaths made to the spirits. Never make a deal with a Hag. Never trust the Fae. The Great Elm placed a task upon my soul which only death or triumph can release me from. I am more than I thought myself to be but less than fate seems to believe I might be. Hendrix Bane has marked me for death as โฆ Never listen to the pleas of the dead. Never betray the oaths made to the spirits. Never make a deal with a Hag. Never trust the Fae. The Great Elm placed a task upon my soul which only death or triumph can release me from. I am more than I thought myself to be but less than fate seems to believe I might be. Hendrix Bane has marked me for death as surely as I have marked him as my enemy. I am trapped in the castle of my adversary and all that passed between us before this moment has been cast aside like ashes from a fire that burned too hot and too fast to bask in. My sister is lost to me once more and doubts gnaw at my insides. All the things I never wanted myself to believe have forced themselves to the forefront of my mind. Did I even achieve anything in those trees? Or will the world rejoice at my success only to curse my name for their downfall in the end? I have an impossible task to fulfil and my accomplice in it has nothing but hatred for me in his heart. So now Iโm at the mercy of the man who helped me survive the curse of the forest. And his wrath is nothing short of sinful. I only pray I donโt lose myself to the corruption which has taken hold of him. And I donโt know if I will escape him before Iโm consumed by it too. But maybe thatโs what Iโm hoping for. *** Lightwing is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It is a heady cocktail of Summoners, seduction and spirits, set to get your heart racing and feet kicking. There will be a ruinous, black hearted love interest, a rebellious, ruthless FMC, plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice. It is not for the faint of heart. All those who enter the forest are bound by its terms โ will you walk willingly into the dark? ***
