Kingdom of Smoke and Starlight - Hardcover

The brightest lights have the darkest pasts.

Analia has survived the Sun Kingdom, but not without cost. Tormented by nightmares, at the mercy of her awakened flames, and shattered by grief, she's now duty-bound to rule over a people who despise her.

When Aaron returns, he offers an alternative: come with him and uncover the enemy queen's schemes.

But leaving means abandoning the last vestiges of her uncle. It means venturing into the Wild Lands, and entangling herself in a deadly political game where the living aren't the only players on the board.

Despite the ramifications of each move becoming graver, Analia slowly regains her footing as she's accepted into a new family. A security that allows her to start piecing herself together again. And the more Aaron helps her do so, the more she is drawn to him.

But Analia can't afford to drop her guard. Every second, the queen gains another step ahead, the threat of Analia's flames burns hotter, and Aaron's touch stirs feelings that have left Analia scarred in the past. Is their connection destined to prove love can be healing, or will Aaron's secrets confirm hearts are mended only to be broken once more?
