The second book in the A Curse So Dark and Lonely trilogy takes readers back to the magical world of Emberfall. In this highly anticipated sequel, author Brigid Kemmerer delves deeper into the lives of her beloved characters and expands the realm of fantasy she has created.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.
With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of A Heart So Fierce and Broken at Book Expo 2019, so I was able to binge read the first two books in the Cursebreakers series ahead of the second installment s January 7, 2020, release.
Rhen, now the rightful heir to the throne, struggles with his inner demons and the weight of his responsibilities. Meanwhile, Grey battles his own demons as he grapples with his feelings for Harper and his loyalty to his brother. **One of the key highlights of the book is the exploration of Harper's character development as she becomes more aware of her strength and the power she holds within.
