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 Valesโ tragedy first began.
โFate 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.โ
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 teamโs 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 Orderโs 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 allโbut she must do so before their relentless assassin eliminates his next target. Her.
Except, thereโs something oddly familiar about the way he moves, the way he anticipates each of her moves. Itโs as if he knows her. But thatโs not possible. Is it? Ivy will have to rely on every skill sheโs learned if she hopes to surviveโand save those she loves. No matter the cost.
