Description
‘Light or dark, only one can win. This world cannot survive in shades of grey.’
Now that Aven Dalmarta sits upon the throne of Meya, Alex is in a race against the clock to save the mortals of Medora from the Rebel Prince's wrath.
Haunted by an unspeakable vision of the future, Alex and her friends set out to warn the mortal races. But making allies out of ancient enemies proves difficult.
With her nights spent deep in the Library under the guidance of a mysterious new mentor, Alex is desperate to strengthen her gift and keep all those she loves safe. Because in a world where nothing is certain, she is sure of only one thing:
Aven is coming.
Join Alex and ‘embrace the wonder’ of The Medoran Chronicles, the YA fantasy epic from bestselling author Lynette Noni. Each book in the series invites you deeper into Medora, expanding the world and unravelling the mystery of Akarnae Academy — and beyond.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Stephanie Garber, Brigid Kemmerer and Victoria Aveyard, with relatable characters plunged into a world of intrigue, danger and magic. This page-turning fantasy series about friendship, finding yourself and the ultimate battle of good versus evil will delight readers as they discover the mysteries of Medora.
‘Lynette Noni is a marvellous and inventive storyteller, whose books are absolutely impossible to put down. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!’ – Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses series
