"Lightlark is a mash-up of The Hunger Games, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and One of Us is Lying—a grand high-stakes competition set on a lush magical island with delicious secrets, betrayals, romance galore, and an ending that will surprise even the most careful reader. Winning means getting unparalleled power. Losing means mass death. The Centennial is a game. And the six rulers have arrived on Lightlark prepared to play: a temptress with a deadly secret;a king who trusts no one; a cruel warrior no one trusts; a healer who prefers killing; a drunk fond of jewels, seemingly less fond of rules; a newcomer who must succeed this Centennial—or die before the next one. Isla Crown is the young new ruler of Wildling—a realm of terrifyingly beautiful temptresses cursed for the last 500 years to live off of the hearts of men and kill anyone they fall in lovewith. They are feared, hated—and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears for 100 days. The six rulers are invited to the magical heart of the realms for another chance to solve the riddle behind the curses thathave plagued them for centuries. Each realm’s curse is uniquely wicked, and breaking them—according to old prophecy—requires the death of one of the six rulers . . . along with all of their subjects. When Isla is forced into a partnership with the infamouslymistrustful king of Lightlark, she struggles to keep a secret that would mean death—it becoming especially difficult when she spends her nights with him scouring the island for clues about the curse’s origins and days being trailed by his enemy . . . who mightjust be the only ruler telling her the truth. The Centennial is an invitation—a summons to good and bad, wins and ruin, baubles and blood. To break her curse and save her realm, Isla will lie, steal, betray, kill—even as love threatensto undo everything. "
