This white-knuckled conclusion to The Brilliance of Stars takes
readers on a breathless adventure from the speakeasies of America to the
Horse Guards Parade in London, an ancient cemetery outside Paris, and
back to the Eastern European strongholds where the Vales' tragedy first
began.
"Fate is fickle and the stars are silent, but I do know this: No
matter how difficult the circumstances or how savagely the world tries
to tear us apart, I am here with you."
Ten years have passed since Jack and Ivy, elite operatives for the
secret agency Talon, rescued their friend Philip and completed their
fateful mission. The 1920s are in full swing as American speakeasies
thrive amid Prohibition, and despite the team's best efforts, the deadly
cult, the Order of the Rising Moon, lives on in the shadows. Which is no
surprise to Ivy; nothing has gone as she expected since that day after
Poenari Castle.
When a wave of assassinations strikes world leaders, intel confirms the
Order's involvement. Ivy holds them responsible for the tragedy that
changed her life, and she is determined to find and destroy the villains
once and for all--but she must do so before their relentless assassin
eliminates his next target. Her.
Except, there's something oddly familiar about the way he moves, the way
he anticipates each of her moves. It's as if he knows her. But that's
not possible. Is it? Ivy will have to rely on every skill she's learned
if she hopes to survive--and save those she loves. No matter the cost.
