‘Will ensnare you from the first page’ Chloe Gong on The Darkening
Vesper Vale sacrificed everything to save her city. But when she awakens after three years as a vessel of The Great Queen, she finds her home beset by sinister forces – and herself revered as a goddess.
The Great King and his army of lightstruck – once regular citizens who are now controlled by an ominous light – have besieged the city. And as she fights to rescue them, a chasm is growing between her and Dalca, the prince she swore never to love.
To save her city again, Vesper will have to face the power most outside her control – the goddess within.
