Description #1 New York Times , USA Today , and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout brings her trademark drama and intrigue to a new romantic YA science fiction Origin series with The Darkest Star . In the world of the Lux, secrets thrive, lies shatter, and love is undeniable. Evie Dasher knows firsthand the devastating consequences of humanity's war with the Luxen. She was just a kid when it tore her world, and family, apart. Now seventeen, Evie is thrown back into a conflict she wants no part of--and into the path of Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she assumes is a Luxen, but is in fact something much more secret--and much more dangerous. Her growing attraction to Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, revealing secrets long buried, a life-shattering betrayal, and a romance that just might make it all worth it.
