Venetia Constantine The Twice-Cursed Heir

Every sceptre demands sacrifice. Every tear betrays secrets. Every truth cuts deeper. Following the events on the Astral Mountain, the Quaternity is driven into Xylia’s diseased forests, where the Sickening spreads as fast as suspicion. Leilani is torn between Astrophel and Blayze, betrothed to one and bound to the other by a shared telepathy, while Arden’s memories haunt her: taunting her with the possibility her own bloodline seeded Arcelia’s ruin. Marked by dangerous Shadow Magic, Leilani finds herself increasingly isolated. As they race to claim the Healing Bough before Endellion, old loyalties splinter, and Leilani’s new powers threaten to consume her. She must master them, or risk yielding to darkness and reducing the realms to ash.
