Synopsis
From BookTok romantasy star Ang T. Dalton comes The Darkness Within, the anticipated sequel to The Scars Within. Scarlet and her newfound twin, Fallon, must break the Mareki’s Curse and fulfill a dangerous prophecy—teaming up with the rival Wylder brothers, one who holds Scarlet’s heart and the other who is Fallon’s sworn enemy. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Powerless, and Throne of Glass, this is book two in the Twisted Thorn trilogy.
Magic is cursed. Fate is a game. And love is the deadliest price.
Scarlet Thorne thought she was done playing with the cards she was dealt. But life has thrown her back into the ring. Waking up in Hollow Summit wasn’t all that bad—until she met Fallon, the twin sister she never knew existed.
Fallon Fitzroy is everything Scarlet is not: disciplined, calculating, and seemingly determined to hate her. And with their father, General Arrow Fitzroy, Scarlet is forced to navigate not only a fractured family but a destiny she never asked for.
To defeat the Grim, the sisters must work with the Wylder brothers. Fallon is forced to ally with her sworn enemy—Shayde—the one she’ll never forgive for the role he played in Scarlet’s capture. Meanwhile, Scarlet has given her heart to Rhodes, even as the curse entwining his fate threatens to tear them apart.
Humankind has one last chance to reverse the Mareki’s Curse. And Scarlet and Fallon are the ones bound to fulfill the prophecy…but at a devastating cost. To restore their world’s magic, the Forgotten Realm must fall.
And when it does, Scarlet will be forced to give more than her power—she may have to surrender her heart.
As loyalties fracture and the Grim closes in, Scarlet must face her darkest truths, the enemies at her side, and a fate that could cost her everything.
The highly anticipated sequel to The Scars Within, The Darkness Within is a fast-paced romantasy packed with jaw-dropping banter, feet-kicking romance, and dangerous enemies-to-lovers tension set against high-stakes magic and war. With every choice threatening lives and hearts alike, fans of Fourth Wing, Powerless, Throne of Glass, and K-pop Demon Hunters won’t be able to look away.
-Cursed magic & star-crossed lovers
-Enemies-to-lovers tension that scorches
-One bed & forced proximity sparks
-Erased memories & buried secrets
-Ancient prophecies & high-stakes destiny
Scarlet Thorne and Fallon Fitzroy’s stories are loosely based on the author’s mental health journey.
