Audiobook Summary-
Lightlark by Alex Aster is an intriguing young adult fantasy novel full of magic, romance, and high-stakes competition within a highly imagined world. The tale follows Isla Crown, the Wildling ruler, one of six cursed realms on the island of Lightlark. The rulers are called to participate in the Centennial, a fatal test designed to shatter their curses—if they manage to emerge alive. Isla is the weakest and youngest of the rulers, with a sinister secret that has the potential to destroy her and her people. As the Centennial starts, Isla has to make alliances, outsmart foes, and untangle a network of lies and betrayal. She gets involved with Oro, the enigmatic leader of Sunling, and Grim, the dark and moody leader of Nightshade. Love blossoms amidst the peril, but Isla is reminded every step of the way that trust can be deadly. As the stakes grow higher and the Centennial's true nature is discovered, Isla has to choose between sacrifice and ambition—love or power, and in losing everything. Lightlark gives readers a quick-moving, suspenseful story of secrets, survival, and self-discovery in a stunningly built fantasy world where nothing is ever as it appears.
