Publisher's summary

When the gods make the rules, the players must choose: Sacrifice their love to save the world, or choose love and let it burn?

Six months after saving their island from destruction and almost losing Dante, Alessa is ready to live happily ever after with her former bodyguard. But Dante can't rest, haunted by a conviction that the gods aren't finished with them yet. And without his powers, the next kiss from Alessa could kill him. Desperate for answers, Dante enlists Alessa and their friends to find the exiled ghiotte in hopes of restoring his powers and combining forces with them to create the only army powerful enough to save them all. But Alessa is hiding a deadly consequence of their last fight—a growing darkness that's consuming her mind—and their destination holds more dangers than anyone bargained for. In the mysterious city of the banished, Dante will uncover secrets, lies, and ghosts from his past that force him to ask himself: Which side is he on?

When the gods reveal their final test, Dante and Alessa will be the world's last defense. But if they are the keys to saving the world, will their love be the price of victory? In This Cursed Light, Dante and Alessa face their most daunting challenge yet when the Gods demand they prove their worth by choosing the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity, once and for all.

Absolutely adore this duology!

The endless flirting and banter had me cackling! The innuendos and teasing are on point--and yes, there are several light spice scenes and a lot of longing. There was a moment I was worried there would be a miscommunication trope (hate those), but it was cleared up quite quickly. I loved Alessa and Dante’s relationship, with all the sweet pining and teasing--every time they were together, I was rolling with delight. I also really liked how Alessa and Adrick were able to repair their relationship, and how they grew together. The ending had me in tears! I had to remove my glasses, I was sobbing so hard! But the epilogue made me SO happy! I highly recommend this duology!

Perfect combination of romance and fantasy.

Loved reading the book and also listening to the talented voice actors who brought Alessa and Dante to life.
