Každých sto rokov sa vynára tajomný ostrov Lightlark, aby sa na ňom uskutočnila bájna Storočnica, chladnokrvné hry na život a na smrť, ktoré vládcom prekliatych ríš dávajú šancu oslobodiť sa od svojej jedinečnej kliatby. Aby sa však kliatba prelomila, jeden z nich musí umrieť. Isla Crownová je mladou vládkyňou Divokraja, stáročia sužovaného strašnou kliatbou, ktorá láske veľmi nepraje: jeho obyvateľky – prekrásne zvodkyne – totiž musia zabiť každého, do koho sa zamilujú.
Isla je pre oslobodenie svojho ľudu od hroznej kliatby odhodlaná urobiť čokoľvek: klamať, podvádzať i zradiť. Teda až do momentu, keď sa zamiluje...

A gripping, propulsive YA fantasy novel from award-winning author and social media superstar Alex Aster, “ Lightlark is an ebullient, fast-paced fantasy with a beautifully rendered world that seethes with intrigue, romance and tension. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Sabaa Tahir). Welcome to the Centennial. Every hundred years, the island of Lightlark appears for only 100 days to host a deadly game, where the rulers of six realms fight to break their curses and win unparalleled power. Each ruler has something to hide. Each curse is uniquely wicked. To break them—and save themselves and their realms—one ruler must die. To survive, Isla Crown must lie, cheat, and betray. Even as love complicates everything . . .
Slow start but does pick up after a few chapters. The writing is mostly dull and repetitive. I liked some of the characters (Isla and Grim) but the rest were either lackluster or just poorly written. However the narrative here does have some intrigue and mystery about it and is by far the best thing this book offers.
