Pretty good first installment of the second serial in the Dark Kings series. As was the case with the previous book in this series, Darkest Flame, this particular book will also follow the same pattern and be released in a 4 part serial, and then as a full - length novel which contains all 4 parts. If you are turned off by cliffhangers, my advice would be to wait for the full novel because the serials often end abruptly with zero resolution.In this first part, Sammi is on the run. Something happens where she is forced to hide, and she eventually makes her way to Draegon Industries, where her half - sister Jane and Jane's husband, Banan, reside. She finds herself on the run again because she doesn't want to involve anyone other than herself in the trouble she's in.I'm finding that the further I get in this series, the more lost I become. One of the (I'm guessing) continuing story arcs has to do with someone named Duncan and his twin, Ian. A very prominent character in this book has ties to both, and I found myself wanting to know exactly who those twins are and what happened to them. While I truly enjoyed this story, I feel that before I continue on with the Dark Kings series, I really need to go back and read previous series books in order to gain full comprehension of all of the story arcs.I do recommend this story if you are familiar with most of the characters both in this installment and previously published stories. I will be holding off on reading any future installments until I go back to the beginning and play "catch up".**eARC received on behalf of the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
