A Gleam Amidst the Dark

A Gleam Amidst the Dark

by

Julie Janis

The eternal winter is broken and spring is coming. Though the High Realm is in more danger than before…

After discovering the truth of his past, Derrick journeys to the Elven Land where he can grow his Rhythmist abilities and work to destroy Dark magic, and restore peace to the High Realm. Though Derrick can't let go of feeling like this destiny was forced on him and the weight pressing on his shoulders is heavier than he expected--or even wanted.

Kota was lucky to survive against the Dark mark placed on her, though she wasn't prepared for the scars that accompanied the gruesome mark. In an effort to redeem herself from her mistake, Kota joins Derrick on his quest to defeat Darkness. But doubts cloud her vision and she doesn't know how to continue on.

Elias battles with the Darkness within him and it's grown worse since saving Kota's life. And when Queen Lavinia returns and forces a task on him, he has two choices: drown in the Darkness or accept her task to kill the Rhythmists and the girl he loves.

Join Derrick, Kota, and Elias on a harrowing journey in the gripping sequel of The Rhythmist Cycle as they fight to dispel Darkness and overcome their haunting mistakes.
