Grace is a freshman who's spending Friday night alone with an action film. She's intelligent, adorably awkward and has a tendency to fill nervous silences with anything that happens to enter her head. Logan ends up deciding to stay and watch the film with her, and the unexpected evening soon grows into something much more physical.

One of the strengths of this series has always been its ability to balance romance with political intrigue, and The Night Prince expands both elements considerably. The mythology surrounding the God of Night, the Heart of the Moon, and Aurora's own heritage becomes far richer here, giving the story a larger scope than the more contained conflict of the first novel.

At first glance, Aurora appears to be simply another fantasy heroine trapped by circumstance. She's a princess whose future has already been decided for her, promised in marriage to a man she neither loves nor trusts. Her life is governed by duty, expectation, and obedience. Every choice has already been made on her behalf.
