The exhilarating sequel to the #1 Sunday Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller Nocturna, about a face-changing thief and a risk-taking prince who must reunite when a deadly enemy threatens their kingdom's chance at establishing a global peace. An epic fantasy perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Sabaa Tahir, and Stephanie Garber.

After joining forces to save Castallan from an ancient magical evil, Alfie and Finn haven't seen each other in months. Alfie is finally stepping up to his role as heir and preparing for an International Peace Summit, while Finn is traveling and reveling in her newfound freedom from Ignacio.

That is, until she's unexpectedly installed as the new leader of one of Castallan's powerful crime syndicates.

Just when Finn finds herself back in San Cristobal, Alfie's plans are also derailed. The mysterious organization responsible for his brother's murder has resurfaced—and their newest target is the summit. And when these events converge, Finn and Alfie are once again forced to work together to follow the assassins' trail and preserve Castallan's hopes for peace with Englass.

But will they be able to stop these sinister foes before a new war threatens their kingdom?

      Alfie and Finn face a new threat to the kingdom of Castallan in this sequel to Nocturna (2019). It's been a few months since Prince Alfie and thief Finn saved the world from the evil god Sombra. Alfie is assuming his role as heir to the throne of Castallan and stepping up to fulfill his late brother's dream of hosting a peace summit with their neighbors (and former colonizers) from Englass. Meanwhile, after exploring the world for a time, Finn returns home to find herself the leader of the powerful underground crime syndicate that operates in Castallan. An unexpected connection between the two characters and their parallel storylines sets them on a collision course when the peace summit becomes the target of the terrorist organization responsible for Alfie's brother's murder. The ensuing investigation unveils an even larger threat to everything they hold dear. This sequel proves to be stronger than its predecessor thanks to its higher stakes and deeper character development. The story mixes magic, romance, and political intrigue while thoughtfully exploring the topic of colonialism and its consequences and the fraught relationship between magic, power, and systems of oppression. The world is Latine-inspired; Finn, Alfie, and most characters from Castallan are brown-skinned. The plot thickens, and a cliffhanger ending sets up a promising foundation for the upcoming trilogy closer. (Fantasy. 14-18)
