How did I know it was coming but still didnt want to believe it.
Summoned to the Unknown Lands by The Council, Alys is torn from her dragon once again and forced to master her powers while a deadly, ancient prophecy begins to unfold. With something dark stirring beneath these sacred lands, Alys and her allies must uncover long-buried secrets before it’s too late.
This sequel is darker, spicier, and far more dangerous—packed with tension, twists, and escalating stakes.
And Damian… dang it.
I already know the next book is going to be even hotter, and I’m fully expecting Alys to end up attached to more than one person. 🌶️🔥 I could be wrong but still hopeful.

The Wicked continues Alys’s tumultuous story as she and her newfound friends embark on a journey to lands forbidden to even dragons. She learns secrets she never knew existed, fights dangerous enemies, and experiences love and heartbreak like no other.
I loved this. It continues the storyline in an interesting way and adds a lot more depth to the characters from book one while introducing new ones as well as a very unique concept in who the enemies being fought are. It’s a page turner and definitely worth a read!

I NEED BOOK 3 NOW, PLEASE! We are introduced to new characters, new plots, and new ships. I couldn’t put this down. The characters from book 1 are joined by new characters. The pacing, characters, and the voice of it is perfect. It carries on the same dark fantasy tones of the first but digs deeper into the emotional complexities of the characters.
