Book 2 in the Elemental Series Dissidents want this galactic traveler dead. With all she cares about imperiled, can she survive a journey across the stars to end the bloodshed? Raya Salian fears she made an awful mistake. Choosing to remain on Earth while her fiancé returns home, the young elemental misses him and her distant planet desperately. Haunted by horrifying nightmares that seem to hint at the future, she’s shocked when hallucinations and migraines are traced to a mysterious brain implant. Who put it there and why? Relieved when she finally hears from Dev, her blood runs cold when she learns extremists have killed her family. And when more news of devastation reaches her, there isn’t a black hole or solar storm that can keep her from seeking vengeance. Can Raya channel her grief and rage into the power needed to crush the lunatic fringe? Down Comes the Dark is the nail-biting second book in the Elemental YA science fiction series. If you like strong female leads, impossible odds, and rocket-fueled action, then you’ll love Liane Mahugh’s tale of loss and courage.
