Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionDays of Blood and Starlight continues the spellbinding story of Karou, a blue-haired art student with a secretive history, and Akiva, the haunted angel who loved her in another life. As Karou discovers the brutal truth of her past and Akiva grapples with the consequences of their love, they find themselves on opposite sides of an escalating war.
In this enthralling sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Karou must choose between loyalty and love as she assumes leadership of the chimaera resistance against the seraphim. Torn between her sympathy for her kin and the lingering feelings for Akiva, she strives to make sense of a world shattered by millennia of conflict. With her powers as a resurrector, Karou assembles an army to stand against the ruthless angel soldiers, but will this be enough to bring about peace?
Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a new way of living - one without massacres and torn throats and bonfires of the fallen, without revenants or bastard armies or children ripped from their mothers' arms to take their turn in the killing and dying.
Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon's secret temple and dreamed of a world that was like a jewel-box without a jewel - a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness.
This was not that world.
As secrets are revealed and new alliances are forged, Karou and Akiva must reckon with the inevitable fallout of their choices. Shadows of the past threaten to overwhelm the present as the dream of a harmonious future becomes increasingly elusive. Dynamic, heart-wrenching, and visually exquisite, Days of Blood and Starlight is a must-read for fans of intricate fantasy worlds and unforgettable characters.
Experience the 10th anniversary edition of this mesmerising tale, filled with exquisite prose, breathtaking landscapes, and a heart-pounding plot that underscores the thin line between hope and despair.
Ideal for those who relish fantasy infused with romance, epic battles, and a starkly beautiful portrayal of love and loss, this sequel guarantees a riveting journey that resonates long after the final page has turned.
