Fallen Light

by Danielle Louise

She's trying to understand the magic within her.
He just wants to control it.
Will the light prevail in times of darkness?

Elowyn wakes in a strange place with nothing but her scars and nightmares for company. Has she truly escaped or stepped into another of his cruel games?

Bound by a magic she cannot break, she spent years with the monster who destroyed her life, until an unexpected escape leaves her in a place she never expected to be… with the humans.

But freedom is an illusion.

Beyond the castle walls, darkness gathers, longing for the light within her. It hungers for the power that flows through her.

To save the people she loves, and herself, she has to confront the past that still holds her captive before the darkness reclaims the one thing it has never truly surrendered… Her.

Wow. Words are not enough to express what a masterpiece this is! I loved every moment of this read, the world, the characters, the magic, the plot, the twists. I was hooked from start to end and the author's writing really makes the story more magical. I literally experienced that same awe, giddiness, euphoria that I had when I read Throne of Glass 🥹❤️‍🔥 I am blown away that this is a debut novel and really looking forward to the rest of this trilogy! I had literal goosebumps on my arms when I was busy with the ending. The setting of this book was so immersive and felt so real, I was sucked into this world and I'm so invested in these characters and their lives now, I literally can't wait for the next book. WHAT AN ENDING!
