Now a Kirkus Best Book of 2020!
A RUNAWAY WITH A HIDDEN PAST
Lydia is a scholar, but books are her downfall when she meddles in the plots of the most powerful man in the Celendor Empire. Her life in danger, she flees west to the far side of the Endless Seas and finds herself entangled in a foreign war where her burgeoning powers are sought by both sides.
A COMMANDER IN DISGRACE
Killian is Marked by the God of War, but his gifts fail him when the realm under the dominion of the Corrupter invades Mudamora. Disgraced, he swears his sword to the kingdom's only hope: the crown princess. But the choice sees him caught up in a web of political intrigue that will put his oath - and his heart - to the test.
A KINGDOM UNDER SIEGE
With Mudamora falling beneath the armies of the Corrupter, Lydia and Killian strike a bargain to save those they love most―but it is a bargain with unintended and disastrous consequences. Truths are revealed, birthrights claimed, and loyalties questioned―all while a menace deadlier and more far-reaching than they realize sweeps across the world.

"Time itself doesn't change people, Highness. What happens to them while it passes does." I loved Dark Shores and Tarnished Empire. Agrippa, Marcus and Teriana were amazing and the world that Jensen built was as well. Dark Skies practically starts off repeating the events of the previous books. From Lydia's perspective. That had me bored and annoyed. And on the other hand: confused with Killian's pov. That changed after a while and we entered parts of the story that we hadn't covered before and I started liking Lydia (who really goes through a lot of development here) and Killian and their story. The writing helped with vivid pictures in my mind (not all of them pretty, though...). Shortly before the ending, all of that changed again. I was left confused and a bit angry. Everything was just happening too fast for me. I have no idea what to exptect from the next book and to be honest I'm totally scared that we'll get yet another change in pov...
