Lady of Light and Death (The Courts of Daemonium #2) | Lucy May Smith

Pre-Order: Out 21st June, comes with bookmark and print. 

War is coming from all directions. Caligo’s army is rising from the Intermundum to bring chaos to earth, meanwhile the Liberators have overthrown the government and are set on eradicating all Daemonium. The Courts must seek all the help they can.

After hiding for over a century, Adriana has finally taken her rightful seat as the leader of the Incantrices. Coming to terms with her trauma and her new life as the first Lamia Incantrix, she focuses on building her coven and strengthening her powers for the fight. But can she move on from what Xander did? Can she trust him when he is slowly losing himself again?

Xander had thought the nightmare was over when he finally found her again, but it seems it never ended. The love of his long life is back within arm’s reach… and she is dangerously close to Lilith’s claws. 

The darkness inside him is growing—a rot that is staining every corner of his mind and urging him to destroy the one person who can save him. It is only a matter of time until Xander becomes Lilith’s puppet once again. The question is: will he ever return, or will he lose himself entirely?
