New York Times bestsellers P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast return with the astonishing conclusion to their new duology set in a dark and magickal world filled with incredible danger and irresistible romance. 

Wren Nightingale wasn’t supposed to have any elemental powers. Since becoming Moonstruck on her eighteenth birthday, Wren has found herself thrust into a world filled with deception, danger, and murder. Uncovering that their magick was fractured and limited when the original Moonstruck ritual was broken by Selene, Wren is determined to find a way to join the magicks of the elder, the mother, and the maiden. But the Elementals are split into two factions―some want the ritual completed and their freedom―and others are terrified of change. So terrified that they’re willing to end Wren before she can reach the center of the island where the ritual Selene ruined can be completed. 

Between his overbearing father’s arrival, Rottingham delegating him more and more responsibility, and Celeste taking a special interest in him, Lee Young has been struggling to find his own path. As much as Lee wants to take his place in the Moonstruck hierarchy, not everything he’s being told adds up―like, no matter what Celeste says, he knows something’s not right at the Academia de la Luna. He thinks if he can talk some sense into Wren and get her to return to the Academia, that everything will turn out alright. 

As Wren and Lee both battle for what they believe is right, they’ll have to uncover who their true allies are…and if they’re even on the same side of this magickal fight.

My Review: My biggest issue with this book was that its the last one. But in all serious, it's hard to not fall in love with these books or anything by these ladies. To this day I still think back on the HON series by them.  

Now lets move on... 

This book picks up right where the first left off. Wren is hovering above the chaos that just happened. Before she can process what's happened, if Lee is still her friend or now enemy, the element takes her to the forest to be safe.  

Everything is about to change and Wren is about to go through it all. She will learn about the elements, tackle trials and find out just who her friends are through it all.  

Don't let this book being YA fool you. It's one of the most captivating reads of the year. Its great for any audience and especially if you love the HON series. There's some similarities in this series while still being its own story.  

For me, this will live out there as one of my treasured series and I certainly can not wait to see what these ladies write up next!
