STAY ANCHORED IN THE LIGHT, THEY TOLD HER. BUT WHAT HAD THE LIGHT EVER DONE FOR HER? After discovering she's prophesied to save the realm, Aya's duty should be clear: return home with once-sworn enemy Will to serve their queen in the coming war against a rival kingdom…one whose pursuit of dark magic could bring the realm to its knees. But with part of the prophecy still undiscovered, and their queen's intentions increasingly suspect, Aya's very purpose is quickly brought into question. With betrayal lurking around every corner, she and Will are forced to lie, manipulate, and hide what they've become to one another as they struggle to learn the truth before dark magic destroys them all. And with secrets and lies trailing Aya wherever she goes, she has to wonder…do the gods truly want her to save the realm…or simply watch it burn?

i received an advanced listening copy from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. this did not affect my rating.
this is the sequel to the curse of saints.
after discovering she’s prophesied to save the realm, aya’s duty should be clear: return home with will to serve their queen in the coming war. but aya’s not so sure about this duty, and has questions about the prophecy and her queen. as she and will are forced to lie to everyone, they work on uncovering the truth before dark magic destroys them all.
i really loved the curse of saints last year, so i was very excited to get to this sequel! the plot was so captivating, and the tension between aya and will was incredible. they have to keep their relationship a secret, and i’m such a sucker for the secret relationship trope. i can’t wait to see where the story goes in book three!
narration: devon sorvari returned to narrate this book. i think her narration fits so well for the story and for aya!
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving the opportunity to listen to this ARC for my honest review.
Let's start with what I liked:
-the audio book narration. This is the biggest thing I'm picky about and this was well done
-the premise behind the book
I rated this 3 stars but I am going to revisit this because I did not fully realize this was the 2nd book in a duology/series. I think if I read the first one I will like this one more.
Although I will say this book is really long and feels very drawn out but for no apparent reason, which I am not a fan of.
