The Dawnlin Trilogy #3
Reign of Light
I have to find strength in my weakness and have hope that this was all meant to be.
Lennox Holt’s world turned upside down when the only way to return home from Dawnlin slipped through her fingers. Lies, manipulations, violence; with every exposed secret, she became more aware of how much the person she thought she trusted was actually the one with the most nefarious intent of all. Since that moment, she formed new bonds, found new love, and uncovered truths that explained her past.
Now, trapped on the island that was meant to bring hope for the future instead of taking it away, Lennox, Weston, and the others must forge a new path forward to create a life like the one she always dreamed of. Grappling with guilt from the aftermath of her actions, she must find a way to accept that this may have always been the fate of everyone left behind.
But when lessons unexpectedly become real instead of hypothetical, Lennox is thrust into a situation that is much bigger than she imagined, and once again must determine who around her can be trusted.
While titles and responsibilities may be unnecessary on Dawnlin, Lennox will learn no one can ever truly be rid of them, especially the future queen. When everything she holds dear is on the line, Lennox must take fate into her own hands and make the ultimate choice between duty and love.
Reign of Light is the epic finale to the New Adult Fantasy Romance series, The Dawnlin Trilogy, and is filled with high stakes, forbidden love, and intense emotions. It is meant for adult audiences and should not be read prior to completing the first two books in the series, Dawn of Hope and Blade of Truth.

You know that series that you read at the time when you needed it the most? That is the best way to describe this incredible trilogy for me.
I loved how every book built the characters and story so perfectly to complete such powerful full circle, intense, and emotional moments in this one. Probably one of the best story building from book one all the way to the very end. You can tell Amanda Briar puts so much thought and care into this world and I am so forever grateful to have picked this series up. Will miss this world but cannot wait to see what’s next for this incredible author.
Looking back I love how clear the message of never losing hope in the darkest of times in is seen throughout the series, but even further that you can’t be stagnant with that hope.
Will never stop recommending this series!! Especially to those who are looking for:
💚 Peter Pan retelling inspired trilogy
✨ HOPE is a main message and focal point
🌶️ spice rating increases throughout the series (author states this frequently) - with this being the most spicy and many explicit scenes throughout
⚔️ big pirate lovers
🫶🏻 found family & friends
📚 light world building and a great gateway for adult fantasy readers

Friends, lose yourself in this series. You won’t regret it. Amanda Briar created characters that you deeply root for and when it ended it felt like saying goodbye to friends.
This final book doesn’t end where you expect and I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns. The end brought me to tears and the acknowledgments had me feeling all the more. What a message we all need to be reminded of - believe in yourself and all that you are capable of ❤️ it’s never too late take a new path!

love love love!
What a beautiful ending. This book encompasses what it means to unconditionally love someone! There were so many clues about where the story was going and I missed them all. Just beautiful! There is a beautiful bow that ties it all together in the end and I just wanted to give the series a big hug. This was a nod to found family and love and it made my heart happy to read it!
