The Shadows of Aether - The Heart of Aether, #2

"The Shadows of Aether"After their victory over the darkness in The Heart of Aether, Selena Nyx and her companions believed they had secured peace. But as the shards of the Heart continue to radiate their powerful light, unsettling visions begin to plague Selena once more. These visions reveal that the true enemy lies not in the darkness alone, but in the shadows of their own realm-enemies hidden in plain sight.
A mysterious force, known as the Shadow Court, has been manipulating events from behind the scenes. Their leader seeks to reforge the Heart of Aether, not to destroy, but to control both the light and the dark, tipping the balance of the world in their favor. Selena and her allies must now travel to the hidden strongholds of the Shadow Court, uncovering ancient secrets of Aether's history and facing a new kind of threat-one that can manipulate light and dark alike.
As old enemies become unlikely allies and betrayal lurks within their ranks, they must race to prevent the Heart from falling into the wrong hands. But this time, the shadows aren't just gathering. They're everywhere.
