A gripping, propulsive YA fantasy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author and social media superstar Alex Aster--now in paperback and with a special sneak peek at book 2

Welcome to the Centennial.

Every hundred years, the island of Lightlark appears for only 100 days to host a deadly game, where the rulers of six realms fight to break their curses and win unparalleled power. Each ruler has something to hide. Each curse is uniquely wicked. To break them and save themselves and their realms one ruler must die.

To survive, Isla Crown must lie, cheat, and betray. Even as love complicates everything . . .

This paperback edition will include a teaser chapter of the upcoming second book in the Lightlark Saga.

Industry Reviews

"Gorgeously lush and cinematic, Lightlark is the kind of fantasy that indulges all your senses, makes you swoon, and then knocks you sideways with twists. You won't want to put this down." - Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Skyhunter

"Alex Aster's Lightlark is an ebullient, fast-paced fantasy, with a beautifully rendered world that seethes with intrigue, romance and tension. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes

"Fantasy that reads like a breath of fresh air. Filled with secrets aplenty and enthralling magic, Lightlark will have you gasping then swooning while these valiant rulers fight to break their curses." - Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

"If The Hunger Games was a dark fairy tale, you'd get the vicious and enchanting Lightlark. Get ready to be transported into a dazzling world where love is a death sentence and the romances between competitors are even fiercer than the curses plaguing the islands." - Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
