In the impoverished outer town of a kingdom where fae outrank humans, Faythe, an orphan with a talent for swordplay, knows the importance of keeping her head down around the fae patrol. She and best friend Jakon long for a better life, and her desire to swing her sword in combat may bring the purpose and coin she's yearned for.

Astraea is a prisoner of her own mind, the past sliding from her grasp like water. But she knows she must escape the tyrannical king who holds her captive and find her clouded memories once again. This quest leads her to the Libertatem, a succession of trials hosted by the king in which five human lands compete for a cycle of safety from the vampires seeking blood, claiming souls, and savaging after dark. But even winning the Libertatum will not keep Astraea safe from vampires.

No one expects an angel to buy a ticket to hell. I would have lived my life the righteous way, but my path of vengeance forced me to become the monster my uncle wanted to create. When I lie my way into playing bodyguard for the senator’s daughter, I don’t expect our fires to cross or to become addicted to the blaze. Anastasia Kinsley burns the ice that froze my heart years ago, but I need to find the will to resist. Chained up in the devil’s playground, I won’t let myself lose again.

Reeling from shocking betrayal, the Star Maiden Astraea must now race against time to break the curse imprisoning her lover, Nyte. She will have to decide if the hand of darkness, or that of her enemy, is an alliance that could bring him back. But with the loss of daylight and the realm on the brink of ruin, Astraea and her companions must set off on their quests to retrieve the Maiden’s broken key, the only weapon that can kill the wrathful gods determined to rule the mortal world.

Shaken from the aftermath of the Libertatem, the newly found star-maiden Astraea is determined to keep her freedom, even at the cost of betraying her heart. But time is running out to recover her memories with the hole it will unveil her killer. Embarking on a journey to discover her past, Astraea’s awakening power spins the hourglass on a history threatening to repeat itself. While Nyte tries to regain control of the vampires hungry for bloodshed, a sinister plan by his brother to overthrow him sparks a dangerous feud. But are they willing to wear the blood of their kin to see it through?

Far from the land she knows, Faythe is beckoned toward the secrets of her heritage. Through trials of her name and a challenge to her claim, does she have what it takes to rule? Faythe bears a future that haunts; Reylan harbors a past that lingers. At his side, what ignited in her heart is kindling, but letting her guard fall could break them . . . or make them stronger.

While the kingdoms prepare to unite, Faythe is forced to remain hidden in plain sight. But suspicions quickly arise with the mysterious fae general from an ally court. Getting close to Reylan could unravel truths she longed for, but trust is hard to gain and even harder to hold. When lurking evil threatens the alliance that keeps them all safe, Faythe may find herself on the side where danger meets desire in a force that could break past the guard on her heart.

Awakening from a dark defeat, Faythe discovers a greater threat to the life she took back. Staggering truths will challenge her and reveal that some bonds were forged to defy. With the battle lost, the war has just begun, and as an enemy is captured, it soon becomes clear a storm can be tamed but never bottled.

To reclaim her throne, Tauria leaves behind her safety to travel across courts. A marriage alliance with the prickly Prince of Olmstone could grant her the power to fight for her kingdom . . . or inspire a monarch's deadly vengeance that threatens all she holds dear. No amount of distance can make Nik forget his desires, but caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he's at risk of losing both. Now is the time to choose. Claim the bond and accept the prophesy that kept him from her all this time . . . or set his aching heart-and hers-free once and for all.

Der hellste Stern braucht die dunkelste Nacht The Stars are Dying ist der Auftakt der spicy New Adult Fantasy-Trilogie Nytefall: düstere Romantasy um Vampire und Star-Crossed Lovers in einer Welt voller Magie, Geheimnisse und Verrat. Ich habe mehr als dreihundert Jahre darauf gewartet, dass du zurückkommst. In Astraeas Welt durchstreifen Vampire die Nacht auf der Jagd nach Blut und Seelen, und ein grausamer Herrscher hält die fünf Reiche der Menschen in seinem eisernen Griff.

Con il calare delle tenebre, due destini si fondono. Ma solo uno di essi sorgerà dalle ceneri. Lontana dalla sua terra, Faythe è chiamata ad affrontare i segreti del suo passato. Oppressa dal peso di un futuro incerto, con il giovane Reylan al suo fianco, una tenue fiamma si accende nel suo cuore. Abbassare la guardia, però, potrebbe rivelarsi fatale per entrambi... o forgiare una forza inaspettata. Un temibile nemico minaccia la pace di Ungardia, e sembra sconvolgere il destino di Faythe. L'oscurità avanza, la storia si rimescola e i cacciatori stanno per diventare prede.

In uno scontro tra corti, si verserà del sangue. Ma in uno scontro tra destini, il sangue sarà la chiave del potere. Obbligata al servizio del re, Faythe deve tenere sé stessa e i suoi amici al sicuro. Nel frattempo, la lealtà di Nik viene messa alla prova, mentre il principe combatte contro i metodi crudeli del proprio padre. Con i regni che si preparano a riunirsi, Faythe è costretta a nascondere la sua vera identità. Ma i sospetti crescono in fretta con l’arrivo del misterioso generale di una corte alleata.

In uno scontro tra armi, un corpo mortale può soccombere. Ma in uno scontro tra sogni, può esservi l’ascesa di un potente erede. Nel villaggio esterno di un regno in cui i Fae sovrastano gli umani, Faythe, un’orfana con un talento per la spada, sa quanto sia importante tenere la testa bassa di fronte alle pattuglie Fae. Lei e il suo migliore amico Jakon aspirano a una vita migliore, e il suo desiderio di fendere la spada in combattimento potrebbe offrirle uno scopo e il denaro che brama così tanto.
