Reeling from the truth about her sister’s death, Zeline Solost is forced to go on the run once more — but this time, she’s not alone. With the help of the Genesis crew, Zeline must find a way to stop the Galactic Order and rescue her brother.
Everything comes with a price.

Finally free to fight for the rebellion, Darci Solost is determined to see the Emperor and Empress fall — but Fate has a different plan. With the keys to the Otherworld now in play, Darci must embrace her magic or die.
Legends are infinite.

⭐️4.5 Eeekkk I was honored to be able to ARC read this book and I cannot thank the author enough for the opportunity!!!! If you’ve haven’t read the first book yet, I highly recommend it! I loved the first book so much as a huge Star Wars fan and as a reader/writer with a particular weakness for shapeshifters as well! So without further ado let’s dive into it!!
Plot: Okie soo without spoiling the first book This Divine Moonfire starts off with a bang as These Starborn Secrets leaves our crew thrown for a loop and everything we thought we knew was a LIE!! It sets up the book with tons of juicy secrets, lots of lore and of course some steamy drama… I love when a book branches off into multiple storylines that are interconnected and woven together with lots of heart-stopping cliff hangers. I think the author did a really good job of knowing when to stop and pick up these different missions to make the book placed well and hold attention. Also, who doesn’t love epic lore?!? This book was full of it! My one critique of all this might be that there was so much lore that I couldn’t keep up and keep it straight. Hopefully things will be revisited later in book 3 so that I can catch up 😅 anyways, the world building in this series is soo unique and intriguing. I just wanted to jump into the book and see these incredible planets for myself!
Characters: Kai!!!! That’s it. That’s all I have to say. 😆 but seriously I love all these characters so much even though I have a few clear favorites 😅 I loved getting to see more of Darci’s POV in this book. It just made me fall in love her even more! I really hope that we get to see more of Newt’s pov next time 🤭 he’s
such a cutie pie 🥰 I was so sad we didn’t see more of Ander in this one (iykyk) but I understand why we didn’t. All of these characters have such complicated lives with the political intrigues and fights for survival but they are also so relatable with their feelings and mistakes. I LOVE when I can actually relate to characters despite our lives being so different 😆
Romance: we didn’t get as much romance in this book as in the first sadly but it was okay. Zeline and Luc are as cute as ever I really loved seeing the two of them grow their trust throughout this book. Also the yearning from a certain hellhound??? Yes please! 🥹😭
Age rating (spice, cussing, gore): there’s maybe just the teensest steamy scene at one point but nothing crazy at all. There’s not any overly gory moments that come to mind either. There is a medium amount of cursing if that kind of thing bothers you. Nothing too graphic though
I am already so excited for book 3 and I just know that it’s going to be epic! If you are looking for a sci-fi, high stakes, political secrets, love stories that’ll make you blush, and multi pov trilogy then this is absolutely the series for you!! ✨🪐💙

Such an incredible and strong sequel to TSS. I absolutely love all of these characters and their relationships, and the chaotic found family. The writing style is so fast paced and keeps the story going at a rapid and entertaining pace, while still making room for the emotional heart to heart moments that make you feel extra connected to these wonderfully crafted characters. TDM has the perfect blend of fantasy and sci-fi elements. 😍
I can't wait for what's next in this series. So much fun!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Happy Release Day, Kendra ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ you should be so proud of what you've written.

Niehaus definitely outdid herself with this second installment! All the galactic magic, intrigue, and adventure of These Starborn Secrets is not only maintained, but intensified as the characters face greater challenges than before. Ander and Kai take the spotlight, and I loved them even more this time around! But Darci, Zeline, Luc and the rest have more than their fair share of fascinating plot points to take us through. TDM outdid its predecessor with higher stakes, bigger reveals, and even more heart-wrenching twists. I cannot wait to see how this series continues!
