The Dark Grace is dead.
Feared and despised for the sinister power in her veins, Alyce wreaks her revenge on the kingdom that made her an outcast. Once a realm of decadence and beauty, Briar is now wholly Alyce’s wicked domain. And no one will escape the consequences of her wrath. Not even the one person who holds her heart.
Princess Aurora saw through Alyce’s thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But it is a love that came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce’s vast power cannot seem to break. And the dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.
Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But could Aurora love the villain Alyce has become?
Or is true love only for fairytales?
This title will be released on May 10, 2022.

My Review: This is an amazing sequel. I'm always wary of sequels, afraid that they won't hold up to the first, but this did not disappoint at all. I loved the introduction of all the new characters of the dark court and how we get to see that they're not really as bad as they seem. There was plenty of drama between Aurora and Alyce and tons of action to keep me on the edge of my seat. The ending was a pleasant surprise and a great way to end the series.
