About this book

Alejandra Ruiz has survived the initial horrors of the academy, but her journey into the shadows is only beginning. As war threatens to consume the Hiding Place, Aleja and her best friend must navigate a series of lethal Trials to earn their titles as Dark Saints. With her magical abilities spiraling out of control and the weight of a catastrophic curse resting on her shoulders, she must master her power before it destroys her from the inside out.

The stakes escalate when a terrifying plot to capture Death itself comes to light, forcing Aleja into a perilous alliance with the Knowing One. As they fight to protect a realm teetering on the brink of annihilation, the lines between mentor and enemy blur. Their strained connection ignites into a volatile, high-stakes enemies-to-lovers romance that could prove more dangerous than the war raging around them.

Perfect for fans of gritty paranormal romance, this sequel masterfully balances heart-pounding action with gut-wrenching betrayal. L.B. Black weaves a dark, immersive tapestry of ancient magic and shifting loyalties that will keep you guessing until the final page. If you are looking for a series that combines academy tension with soul-shattering stakes, your next obsession is here.

This is Amazing!!!

I was so excited to start this and now I’m so sad it’s over. So much had happened and so much more needs to. Aleja has had many lives and now she has to protect hers and everyone else’s. She will do anything to save her world and the people she loves, but will they be able to forgive her for it? )

Black is becoming a favorite of mine

Book two of L.B. Black’s gripping series, No Greater Sorrow, turns the tension all the way up—and I couldn’t put it down. This sequel dives deep into the darkness that was only hinted at in book one, pushing Alejandra Ruiz and Violet into a gauntlet of brutal, mind-bending Trials that test not only their strength, but their very sense of self. The character development in this installment is phenomenal. Aleja is no longer just a girl caught up in the magic, she’s becoming something more,...

Ups and downs and betrayals

April 22, 2024

Wow I can’t say I like cliffhangers unless I have the next book with me ready to read but this one was surprising. This book had so many ups and downs I wasn’t sure where to look for the next piece. Val was not worth all the effort is all I can say about her. I’m not sure Aleja should have trusted her even a tiny bit. The lovers are separated yet again but hopefully not for very long.

Heartbreak and betrayal, my favorites

April 25, 2024

Getting this as an arc read after also being able to arc read the first is phenomenal of itself. The twists and turns of this book and the heartbreak I felt was intense but truly spectacular. )

“It might be argued that nothingness is the norm, and we live in a brief period when the universe exists—brilliant and remarkably fleeting.” “Be smart. Be safe. Be vicious.” “Sometimes there are no villains, Aleja. Sometimes everyone is just trying to survive.” “Prove yourself. It’s only pain. There is nothing to fear, only to endure.” “I’ve loved you in every life I’ve ever lived, and I’ll love you in every life that comes after this. But I’ll only forgive you when I know you’re going to stay...
