After the harrowing trials she underwent in the series’ first chapter to keep her magic from spiraling out of control, Ondreeal rests easy knowing she’s finally managed to keep her powers in check. But as the young wizard becomes plagued with dreams of a nightmarish future that she can’t remember upon waking, she begins to doubt whether her powers are really as controllable as she thought. A nagging urgency pulls her back to Bastion, a free city of light and a beacon of hope for all peoples, and home to Ondreeal’s mentor Sir Francis. Also making their way to Bastion is the robot CD-45, who carries a dire warning of an ancient threat that looms in orbit above the planet—a message that only Sir Francis can comprehend. As both Ondreeal and CD-45 rush towards Bastion, and the future of their world becomes less and less certain, Legacy of Seven: Darkness Falls proves itself to be a more gripping and action-packed story than readers could ever have anticipated. Fans of Cassandra Clare and Sarah J. Maas will quickly fall for Flie’s Legacy of Seven: Darkness Falls. His novel is an action-driven story about coming of age with an awareness of a future that grows ever darker, and about learning to make the best of the present in spite of it. Amidst his meticulous and extremely vivid world building, his characters’ deeply held perspectives on the roles of science and superstition eerily remind readers of the world they live in today. A profound exploration of the consequences of too much power, Legacy of Seven: Darkness Falls will encourage adult and YA readers alike to reflect on the capacity of ordinary people to make a difference.
