In The Hidden Queen, Olive and Darin face their destinies as they confront the returning threat of demonkind, risking everything for humanity's survival.
In The Hidden Queen, the second installment of the Nightfall Saga, readers are drawn back into the intense world of the Demon Cycle. Humanity believed the war with the demons was behind them, but the corelings have returned, threatening to plunge the world into chaos once more. The Spear of Ala, humanity's last stronghold against the demon horde, faces dire reports of its fall, leaving the fate of the realm hanging in the balance.
Central to this gripping tale are Olive Paper and Darin Bales, two young individuals burdened by their legacies. Olive, the daughter of Ahmann Jardir, is destined to wield the powerful artifact that can open the gates of the Spear of Ala. However, she grapples with the weight of expectations and her desire to carve her own path, resisting the call to become a leader like her father. Meanwhile, Darin, gifted with extraordinary senses, struggles to find his place in a world that underestimates him. His determination to rescue his mother from the demon king, Alagai Ka, propels him into a dangerous journey.
As both Olive and Darin navigate their intertwined fates, they must confront the looming threat of the demon king and his new hatchling queen. Their choices will not only determine their own destinies but also the survival of humanity itself. The Hidden Queen promises an epic adventure filled with rich character development and a vivid fantasy landscape.
