**I received a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**
----------------------------------------------
First of all - WOW! Second - grab a box of tissues before you start reading because unless you have no empathy, you'll need them before you're done!
In book 2 of the series, Scarlett and her friends are continuing to navigate their new lives at Castle Vianney - classes, training, friendships, relationships - and in Scarlett's case - leading a rebellion at The Cathedral. Jax gets secret orders that have him disappearing. Kai becomes Scarlett's greatest ally. Wytt keeps everyone entertained, and spends a lot of time with Lana. Corinne loses a young friend, and finds her strength.
Nightfall is being hunted by King Varian... who is Corinne, Wytt, & Kai's father, AND has decided to stay at Castle V as one of the Masters for the semester. The Sons of Eden - led by Adam, and the Red Eagles - led by Crixius - both create more issues for Nightfall through terrorist actions that she must try to circumvent while continuing to show her support for Zeniths.
Because of the beginning of the book I knew there was going to be a hard choice in the plot line, but I didn't see the choice itself being what it was. And, it's a tear-jerker.
The story is well-written with TONS of detail, highly-developed characters, and plot twists you won't see coming. I love the visual feel of the language in this series. You'll fall in love with the characters, and never want to leave their world!
