The battle is won. The storm isn't over. And the hardest choice Alyen will ever make isn't about the war.

​

The darklings are still spreading across Dúramair, and even Faer Dinnán, the ancient faerie king, is fading. Unless the elemental Balance is restored, the kingdom the new Trianid fought so hard to save will fall anyway — slowly, and from within.

​

But stopping the darkness will require a sacrifice Alyen cannot explain to anyone. Least of all Aaron.

​

What follows will push her further than she has ever gone — into magic she never imagined possible, and a heartbreak set in motion by the faerie king himself. Because sometimes saving the world means destroying the thing you love most. And sometimes the person you've hurt most is the only one who can help you finish what you started.

​

Slayer of Monsters is the second book in The Trianid — a completed Celtic-inspired fantasy trilogy. Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce and Elise Kova. For readers who loved the warmth of Keeper of Scales and are ready for the fire.
