Oro realized he loved her when he saw the arrow shot through her heart. She realizes her crown is the missing key to that door that she couldn’t find. She puts it in and the door opens.

Aurora & Isla battle in the hall of mirrors, and Isla realized the original offense that caused the curse was the betrayal of a best friend. She stabs Aurora in the heart, killing her. As the land breaks & swallows them, Oro accesses her powers and saved Isla.

Celeste/Aurora had gotten all of abilities from
the six realms, now— it wasn’t a bond breaker but a bond maker Isla captured and tried to use. Luckily, Isla brought the starstick and portals away, heartbroken that Grim took away the memories of their love to try to gain all the power in Lightlark- he knew who Aurora was, and went along with it, but Aurora lied.

Ilsa finds the bond breaker with Celeste and uses it once Grim is there, only to have him yelp in surprise as Isla uses it. Celeste changes into Aurora, only of the original rulers, and is evil. She explains how Isla is part Wildling & Nightshade, and how she tricked Grim into taking away Isla’s memories so she could seduce Oro.

She meets with the other rulers, minus Grim & Cleo. She competed the original sin that split the realms, but a realm has to die/be destroyed. The other rulers want it to be nightshade or skyling because they have the smallest populations. Isla does not want to make the choice with them.

The heart is within a magical floating egg. The moment Isla picks it up, she gets an arrow to the art. She think she dies, but wakes up in her bed in the palace.

Grim & Isla search the Place of Mirrors and she figure out Cleo was trying to kill her off and Azul too. She makes love to Grim, and then when discussing the bird that almost killed her, she has a realization of where the heart is.

Oro takes Isla to the star isle. When they arrive a silver, Spectre asked to inhabit Isla’s body and then she’ll give an answer. After she does it, she tells her that what she’s looking for is not there. Isla tries to manipulate Oro into taking her to the Sunling Library, he refuses, saying he said he’d take her, but didn’t say when.
