by Alanea Alder
Gage Fabre has been attending meetings regarding the city’s dimming lights, but so far, no one knows why it’s happening. He and his fellow unit brothers can only concentrate on recovering kidnapped fae and supporting their queen.
Nightly visions of a beautiful woman engulfed in flames haunt him. Sleepless nights and increased drills leaves him feeling frayed. Will their world ever be safe again?
Zoe Appleblossom has just started her familial obligation to act as Fire Temple Head when an urgent request comes in from Eire Danu. Unlike her older brother and sister, her magic, is a bit more, wild. Both excited for a chance to leave and concerned for the fae, she immediately heads toward Eire Danu.
But all of her excitement fades when she arrives in the City of Eternal Sun and experiences a cold and seeping darkness that leaves her shaken.
As feelings of self doubt plague her, she finds a glimmer of hope in the man she discovers as her mate. Side by side they race to find answers, but can their combined efforts drive off the shadows and restore the light of an entire city?

Some people may be disappointed, but I am glad the series has returned to it’s roots. Update 8 Sep 2022 spoilers! It was revealed Meryn was pregnant way back in Book 1, My Commander.

Reading Alanea's books are alway a treat. The stories are just a mixture of intense, then light and love... and then a little dash her and there of Meryn.

I am always sad for her books to end, but happy to read the next. )

I love this series, I think I probably always will. I was expecting this book, so I was so excited to go back and reread all the book before this one before picking this one up. I want to say up front this is not really a book you can just pick and up and read without having read the previous books, you are just going to be missing so much of plot from previous books that you just won’t get the full effect. Alanea does a good job of recapping things without it being too much of an info dump,...
