The only hope of breaking these curses is for the rulers of each land to participate in the Centennial, a dangerous contest held on Lightlark, a magical island that is only accessible to outsiders for one hundred days every one hundred years. The sequel, Nightbane, is set for release in 2023.Ĭenturies ago, powerful curses were cast over each of the six realms and their people, the Moonlings, Nightshades, Skylings, Starlings, Sunlings and Wildlings.
