The Midnight Kingdom: The second instalment of the Dark Gods trilogy

Tara Sim

5 Reviews

Rated 0

Fantasy

The epic sequel to THE CITY OF DUSK, a dark epic fantasy trilogy that follows the four heirs of four noble houses - each gifted with a divine power - as they form a tenuous alliance to keep their kingdom from descending into a realm-shattering war.

Fans of RJ Barker and Anna Smith Spark, rejoice!
The divine will have their war - and not all will survive it.

Scattered across the realms, the four noble heirs walk a dangerous path, attempting to undo the damage the gods have wrought.

Taesia, the shadow-wielding rebel, and Nikolas, the reluctant soldier, find themselves stranded in the realm of eternal night. Meanwhile, Risha navigates the treacherous realm of death, and Angelica fights a battle of her own at home, trying to keep Nexus from unravelling.

As the heirs struggle to restore balance to the universe, the gods grow stronger. And their descendants will need more than their magic and wits to survive the coming war...
