I WOULD TURN THE WORLD TO DARKNESS FOR YOU 
 
In a world ruled by the Stars, cruel and merciless gods, Elara has been cursed by fate. 
 
A prophecy promises she will fall for a Star, but that it will kill them both. 
 
Yet when the Star of Wrath and War descends to hunt Elara, the neighbouring kingdom sees an opportunity to take her from her home, the Kingdom of Night, to Helios, Kingdom of Light. Where she strides straight into the arms of an enemy prince. 
 
There, Elara is forced to either let Prince Lorenzo train her into a weapon worthy of battling against the tyrannical reign of the Stars, or to accept her fate. 
 
But there are shadows even within the Kingdom of Light – and they threaten to reveal the darkness in Lorenzo’s past and the ancient magic that slumbers in Elara’s veins. 
 
And with it all, the undeniable, star-crossed pull between them…

A dark fairytale filled with romance, suspense, and adventure. Fallen Stars is one of the best sequels I ever read. Imani has such a way with words that I felt as if I was living the story right beside the characters and wish I could live there forever

Never make a bargain with a god. 
 
Elara is vengeful. Enzo is trapped between the realms of life and death and her enemy has vanished, taking her love’s only connection to the waking world with him. But there is a darker force at play, one that even Ariete, King of the Stars, is afraid of. 
 
On the run with enemies at every turn, Elara must enlist friends, old and new, and learn to control her almighty powers if she has any hope of saving her soulmate. Whatever happens, there is one thing she is certain of... STARS WILL FALL.
