She escaped the Fae.
But the gods aren’t done with her yet.
After surviving the dungeons in Starfall Veil, Lyra makes a treacherous journey across Aethralis. With Aldric by her side, along with allies old and new, Lyra is determined to stop the mad mage Thorne and the plague born from her own magic.
But the deeper their path winds, the more dark and twisted the land becomes. Her power is unstable—and she is drawn to Aldric more intensely than ever.
Fighting against the destiny written for her, Lyra becomes locked in a struggle against an ancient, malevolent god—and they want her for themselves.
But how far are they willing to go?
And what is Lyra willing to sacrifice to stop them?

I was lucky enough to be gifted an ARC of this book by the author, and it did not disappoint. Rating 3.5, but rounded up to 4.
Whispered Secrets is the kind of sequel that puts its characters through absolute hell and somehow makes their bond stronger because of it. As the second book in the Plague and Magic series, it raises the emotional stakes immediately and does not let up, ending on a massive cliffhanger that will leave you reeling.
Lyra and Aldric truly go through it in this installment. Torture, separation, loss, and relentless hardship test their connection again and again, and what emerges is a love forged through endurance rather than ease. One of the most powerful elements of this book is Lyra’s grief arc. After the devastation of book one, she finally begins to release her pain and allow herself to love again. That journey feels raw, earned, and deeply human.
Aldric is the perfect counterbalance. A vampire with morally gray tendencies that occasionally veer into something darker, he is fiercely protective yet incredibly patient. He never rushes Lyra through her grief, but he is always there when she needs him. His quiet devotion is one of the emotional anchors of the story.
The found family aspect shines here as well. Seren and Koto become integral parts of Lyra’s world as they work together to stop the plague, and their bonds add warmth and depth amid the darkness. The gods also step more fully onto the stage, offering an exciting glimpse into the larger world S.D. Gredell is building.
Dark, emotional, and heavy with trauma and healing, Whispered Secrets is a powerful exploration of love, grief, and survival that will leave readers desperate for what comes next.
