She lost her love. She lost the war. Now she’s losing herself.
All her life, Malia was taught to be a fighter—to be unbreakable. But those mantras mean little when there’s nothing left to fight for. With Keahi gone and the Ghosts vanishing as quickly as they appeared, no trace left behind, Malia finally breaks.
Haunted and hollow, she tries to disappear too—but the war isn’t done with her yet. As secrets surface and mysteries unravel, friends turn to foes and loyalties shift. Now, Malia must face the fractures in her mind and decide whether she can fight one last time or be lost to the darkness for good.

I really loved this book. It was honestly such an amazing book and I got attached to the characters way faster than I expected. The writing pulled me in and I felt so many emotions while reading it. It’s one of those stories that stays in your head even after you’re done.I couldn’t stop reading it. Yes, I have a headache from reading the book in one go but I really loved it.
It was a bit different than the first book but still it was incredible to read. In the end all that waiting was really worth it.
Malia really had a character development. From a depressed absent girl to the girl she was before everything happened.
If I’m being honest, the ending did feel a bit rushed. Everything wrapped up so quickly compared to how carefully the rest of the story was built, and I wish we had a bit more time to sit with the final moments.
But still, thank you, Jarah Aurel, for giving us a happy ending. I was really scared for the outcome but it didn’t disappoint. After everything the characters went through, it felt really comforting and satisfying to see things work out. Overall, I loved the book, and even with the rushed ending, it was a great read that I’d definitely recommend.
For the author: Jarah Aurel, thank you so much for creating this series and for spending five years bringing this storyline to life. I loved every part of this journey and it really felt like an emotional roller coaster in the best way possible and I love you for that!! I hope I get to experience something like this again someday just like I did with this series!
Thank you for everything.
