DARKLIGHT

With breathtaking high stakes, the talented Lesley Livingston delivers soaring romance and vividly magical characters in DarkLight, the second novel in the trilogy that began with Wondrous Strange.

Much has changed since autumn when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and aved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt. Now Kelley is stuck in New York City, rehearsing Romeo and Juliet and missing Sonny more with every stage kiss, while Sonny has been forced back to the Otherworld and into a deadly game of catandmouse with the remaining Hunters—with blood magick as his weapon. His own blood. When a terrifying encounter sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful but destined to be cut short. An ancient, hidden magick is stirring and a new enemy—more dangerous than any they have faced before—is willing to risk everything to claim that power. Kelley and Sonny must tread carefully, for each next step could topple a kingdom or part them forever. Lesley Livingston is a writer and actor living in Toronto, Canda.
