Light. Darkness. Power. Magic. The Children of the Elements are back in the epic, instant-bestselling sequel to The Light That Blinds Us.

Alexis, Demi, Blaise and Caeli lie in wait as the Haven prepares for the Battle of Stonehenge: a fight for light over darkness, good over evil. And Mortem fast approaches, threatening to engulf all in shadow. As the night wears on, secrets are spilled and truths come to light. The world is not all that it seems and there might be a little darkness, lurking just below the surface, within us all . . .

Dive back into the fantasy world that masterfully intertwines themes of mental health and the bonds of found family. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Legendborn, from TikTok and BookTok star @andydarcytheo.
