What Echoes in the Dark

Months ago, Bellanova Halestorn brought her world back from the dead.

But life is a fragile thing.

The magic reviving the decayed realm of Noctaris is unstable. Unpredictable. Worse, the one who helped Nova begin to balance that realm—Aleksander—is gone, his body overtaken by the vengeful divine being known as Lorien Blackvale.

As the survivors of her ravaged world look to her for salvation, Lorien offers Nova a dangerous bargain: Undo the curse that ruined him centuries ago, restore the scattered pieces of his true self, and she can have Aleks back.

Desperate to save the man she loves, Nova agrees.

But every step she takes uncovers secrets far more dangerous than Lorien himself. Secrets about her past, about a fanatical order hellbent on controlling the Vaeloran cycle…and about Aleksander’s true nature.
