Aisha, Musa, Flora and Sky must come up with a plan to push back the shadows that threaten to overrun their world…Meanwhile, Bloom puts everything on the line to redeem herself to those she holds most dear.

Olivia Cuartero-Briggs expressed her excitement about the second book in her take on the Fate: The Winx Saga universe.

“I am incredibly proud of these books and all of the amazing work that has gone into bringing my crazy ideas to life.Yes, I have made some big, bold choices in terms of the storytelling, and I will continue to as long as the stellar team at Maverick sees fit to keep Fate: Winx in my hands. The characters and the fans deserve nothing less, and that’s what I will deliver. Always. I love this world and the magic it holds, and I am so excited to share this next chapter with new and old fans alike.”

Artist, Valeria Peri added:

“Working on this project has been surreal! I would have never expected to be given an opportunity such as this and I’m very grateful for it. The team has made me feel very welcomed and appreciated.”
