Lesley Livingston vividly reimagines Irish legends and fairytales to craft a YA fantasy adventure that will captivate readers of Brigid Kemmerer and Tricia Levenseller. and where an outlaw and a warrior princess might carve out a future with spells and swords. Their journey takes them to the outskirts of Eire where magic still runs free.

When Eire is threatened by a power struggle, Neve must seize the chance to take her rightful place on her family's throne, with the help of Ronan and the realm's most dangerous outcasts. They should be enemies, but their shared hatred of the Druids-and a dark magic that has marked them both-makes them unlikely, if uneasy, allies. Neve is the youngest daughter of the king, and Ronan is a Druid's apprentice-turned-thief, making a living by selling stolen spells. After I finished reading Wondrous Strange last year, I jumped online to find out if there would be a sequel and I had to bite my nails because I didn’t have an answer. Lesley has also written Wondrous Strange, which won the Canadian Librarian Association Young Adult Book Award in addition to being a White Pine Honor Book Darklight and Tempestuous. Livingston follows up Wondrous Strange with a perfect combination of suspense, action, and romance in Darklight. But magic is outlawed by the king, and jealously hoarded by his Druid priests. She is the author of Starling, the first book in a darkly romantic series set against the backdrop of Manhattan and Norse mythology. Read 1534 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers.

And Kelley's eyes are opening not just to the Faerie that surround her but to the heritage that awaits her. In the kingdom of Eire, banshees chill the air, and water-wights lurk in the rivers. This year, as the time approaches when the Samhain Gate will swing wide and nightmarish Fae will fight their way into an unsuspecting human world, something different is happening. A stunning Celtic YA fantasy adventure set in the ancient kingdom of Eire, inspired by the legend of the first true queen of Ireland, perfect for fans of Shelby Mahurin and Adrienne Young.
