Description

THREE MILLION SERIES COPIES SOLD! An instant #1 national bestselle r--so on to be a major motion picture. #BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons--a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm's curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die. Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling--a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray...even as love complicates everything. Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, The Lightlark Saga is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo. Includes Select Exclusive Excerpts from Nightbane, the Second Book in the Lightlark Saga

Better the Second Time!

Isla has a secret only she and Celeste know, one that could help her enemies win the centennial and possibly end her life. She makes unexpected alliances to try to win the centennial, the only opportunity she has to save her island and her people. She discovers who is friend and who is foe, completing each rulers task at the best of her abilities. She learns many secrets of Lightlark and each of her opponents while searching for the one thing that can help them all. I read this about two years ago and just read it again. I took my time this time around and I changed by rating from a 3☆ to a 5☆!

Perfect if you want fantasy with danger, romance, and plenty of heart.

Lightlark is a thrilling, fast-paced fantasy that had me hooked after a few chapters, KEEP READING!!! The world of the Centennial game is imaginative, full of curses, powers, and high stakes that keep you turning pages. I loved the tension and romance between Isla and the rulers, especially Grim — their dynamic is both steamy and engaging. While some of the world-building and rules felt a little fuzzy at times, and Isla’s character could use a bit more depth, the book is still a fun, emotional, and immersive read. Perfect if you want fantasy with danger, romance, and plenty of heart..

Pull's You in

I am a big Romantasy fan and have read many series. Including ACOTAR, TOG, Spark of the Everflame, Trials of the Sun Queen etc... I am currently on the 2nd book in this series and I LOVE it. Slow burn, mystery, twist. I highly recommend it.

If you have trouble reading fanasty this will help!

Honestly I could never read fantasy before and I tested out ACOTR, Dune, Fourth Wing and couldn’t get into it but THIS IS SO EXCELLENT! Finally a protagonist that doesn’t get on your nerves and a story that is clear but full of adventure and detail I love it so much!
