Rose Garcia’s A Shadow Falls is Book 2 in the Bloodlines Legacy series. Due to a twist of fate in the fae world of Faevenly, Mateo has gone from lowly Sublander to Lord Prince of House Stromm. Avalynn, once believed to be a Princess of Stromm, has discovered she is the Only One—Princess of both House Strong and House Kane, as well as partially human. She has feelings for Mateo, but when she betrayed him, which revealed his princely position, it pushed him into the arms of his mother, the icy High Queen of Faevenly. The High Queen has solidified her hold on him through a dark magic amulet. Avalynn and Mateo’s other friends try to rescue him from a fate he now embraces, and end up journeying with him to the Wild North to seek out dragons. Will the love they once shared be enough to overcome the power of the amulet?
A Shadow Falls continues the story of Mateo and Avalynn as they travel their paths to fulfill a prophecy in this page-turning, action-packed sequel. The corruption of the amulet creates a realistic internal fight over Mateo’s very soul that keeps readers rooting for him to make good choices even when he fails to do so. The themes of vengeance and betrayal keep the reader guessing about which characters can and cannot be trusted. The concrete plot whisks readers into a fantasy world where one can get lost, investing readers in the fight to save Faevenly as much as the characters who are invested in it.
