Rating: 5 out of 5.

The unthinkable has happened, Fallon Bane has gone dark.

As hard as Fallon tries to control her power, it only gets stronger. In a fit of desperation she asks for help from the most unlikely person and is wickedly betrayed in the worst way possible.

But there has always been a bright spot in Fallon’s life, someone who can reach her even when others can’t.
Ariyon Madden must decide just how far he’s willing to go to save the girl he loves and the people he has pledged to protect. For the Nightling War approaches, and it’s more horrifying than anyone could have imagined.

Together Ariyon and Fallon must give all that they are to save the people of The Gilded City.


The final book in the stunning romantic fantasy trilogy by Leia Stone.

My Review

This is the last book in this series, and now our heroine, Fallon, has gone dark; her magic has finally corrupted her kind soul. What will Ariyon do? 

I love the self-sacrifice from her and her companions to fight off the darkness. Ariyon and the others really come through just in the nick of time. 

A lot of their story is preparing for the inevitable, standard teenage academy stuff and rebellious teenagers submitting to their aunt, the Queen. This book reads very young adults to a little new adult. I enjoy the heroine and hero being in love and sharing their gifts. We see the magical powers of Fae, but there isn’t much discussed in the story. 

A map would make this story so much better. I have no issues imagining the places, but there are so many that having a map would be helpful. 

The end of this book is action-packed, with our heroine, Fallon, finding new strength despite her own struggles. The end of this story is a whirlwind, but I loved how it all came together for the perfect ending. 

This is the review for the last book in this series; this series must be read in order.
