Nightwither

Book 2 of the Starheart Saga

A HIGH FANTASY ROMANCE sequel to STARHEART, where A Court of Mist and Fury meets the Legend of Zelda!

The Starheart Saga: Nightwither

Stella arrives in her mother’s homeland, Myera, a realm of unfamiliar creatures, magical lands, and values that challenge her core beliefs. Nothing could have prepared her for the responsibility of her mother’s legacy. With a long history of tension rising and a civil war on the horizon, Stella is forced into her role as the Starheart to heal old wounds.

Navigating a treacherous web of politics and power as the realm begins to fracture, Stella must be a pillar of strength and stability even as she quietly unravels beneath the weight of her own unmet expectations. But the greatest challenge doesn’t lie within her.

At the centre of the unrest stands Noxryn.

Caught between clashing wills and pride, Stella faces something far more dangerous than failing—the possibility of understanding the man who betrayed her and the one responsible for the chaos threatening to consume the realm. Taking off Noxryn’s mask might offer answers to bring peace, or which lures both her and Myera into a darkness there’s no coming back from.

Nightwither is the second book in The Starheart Saga, an ongoing four-book epic fantasy romance series. This strangers-to-allies-to-enemies-to-lovers series is perfect for fans of unique magic systems, mythical creatures, angst and tension, and hilarious banter. Nightwither will appeal to fans of plot-heavy, character-driven fantasy.

PRAISE FOR NIGHTWITHER

Next Sensation!

What sets apart Lana B. Knight’s story is the plot, in my opinion. The reader may expect a certain outcome, but something else happens. You think you’re there, to the highest point of the action, but you have no idea what’s next. There is a lot of world building, at least in the first half of the book, and a lot of character development. Everything is definitely with purpose. There is action and preparation for an unexpected twist (or several). This is definitely a book well thought.

Brilliant Book!

This story feels epic from the first page. With world-building that expands like an imposing Jenga tower being constructed one piece at a time, it sets the stage for what’s clearly going to be a sweeping multi-book enemies-to-lovers situation; and the tension is already delicious.

Five stars!

I have to say I was completely blown away with Lana’s writing and storytelling of this enthralling and epic Fantasy novel. This book has stayed rent-free in my head as it’s been a while since I’ve felt the excitement and the thrills of a good fantasy novel. I was so engrossed with the novel from beginning to end.
