About this listen
Magic is cursed. Fate is a game. And love is the deadliest price.
Scarlet Thorne thought she was done playing with the cards she was dealt. But life has thrown her back into the ring. Waking up in Hollow Summit wasn’t all that bad—until she met Fallon, the twin sister she never knew existed.
Fallon Fitzroy is everything Scarlet is not: disciplined, calculating, and seemingly determined to hate her. And with their father, General Arrow Fitzroy, Scarlet is forced to navigate not only a fractured family but a destiny she never asked for.
To defeat the Grim, the sisters must work with the Wylder brothers. Fallon is forced to ally with her sworn enemy—Shayde—the one she’ll never forgive for the role he played in Scarlet’s capture. Meanwhile, Scarlet has given her heart to Rhodes, even as the curse entwining his fate threatens to tear them apart.
Humankind has one last chance to reverse the Mareki’s Curse. And Scarlet and Fallon are the ones bound to fulfill the prophecy…but at a devastating cost. To restore their world’s magic, the Forgotten Realm must fall.
And when it does, Scarlet will be forced to give more than her power—she may have to surrender her heart.
As loyalties fracture and the Grim closes in, Scarlet must face her darkest truths, the enemies at her side, and a fate that could cost her everything.
The highly anticipated sequel to The Scars Within, The Darkness Within is a fast-paced romantasy packed with jaw-dropping banter, feet-kicking romance, and dangerous enemies-to-lovers tension set against high-stakes magic and war. With every choice threatening lives and hearts alike, fans of Fourth Wing, Powerless, Throne of Glass, and K-pop Demon Hunters won’t be able to look away.

Scarlet Thorne and Fallon Fitzroy’s stories are loosely based on the author’s mental health journey.
This book reaches into the quiet places most people avoid, the places where pain festers in silence and strength is forged in shadows. Dalton writes with a raw, unflinching honesty that feels almost dangerous, as though every sentence has been pulled from lived experience rather than imagination. There is no sugarcoating here—only truth, and the courage it takes to face it.
What struck me most was how deeply human this story is. The darkness isn’t portrayed as something monstrous or distant; it’s intimate, familiar, and heartbreakingly real. It lives in fear, trauma, grief, and the internal battles no one sees. Yet within that darkness, Dalton plants something powerful: resilience. Not the loud, triumphant kind—but the quiet, stubborn will to keep breathing when everything hurts.
The emotional weight of this book is heavy, but it’s purposeful. It doesn’t exist to shock—it exists to be felt. To say you are not alone. To remind the reader that surviving is an act of defiance, and that even when you feel irreparably broken, there is still something within you worth protecting.
This is a book for anyone who has ever felt swallowed by their own mind. For anyone who has been told they’re “too much” or “too damaged.” The Darkness Within doesn’t promise easy healing—but it offers understanding, and sometimes that’s the most powerful light of all.
Ang T. Dalton doesn’t just tell a story here. They bear witness. And in doing so, they give the reader permission to face their own darkness—and survive it.
but this is just my personal experience whilst reading this series. This series will earn my final star when I get to the last book and feel that's part of me exhale. that deep soul exhale. if you know you know.
