Interview with LIGHTLARK author Alex Aster
August 15, 2022
#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author, Alex Aster welcomes fans to Lightlark, an island that appears every 100 years to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play.
The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. In a bid to break their curses, the six competitors battle it out, knowing that one of them must die so that the others may live. In the midst of it all is, Isla Crown, the young ruler of Wildling — who must pick her way through a deadly web of intrigue if she wants to make it out of the game alive — but soon finds her victory campaign waylaid by a romantic entanglement.
