Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.
Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It's her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria's dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It's also a realm that's getting harder to escape.
Aria's hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before--join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.
As their desire grows, so do Aria's untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

Aria Rialta lives in two worlds: the life she's known and the dark realm of Faydor, where she fights the terrifying Kruen every night. It’s a complex duality that A.L. Jackson brilliantly navigates, showing how Aria balances her everyday life with her calling to protect others from chaos and sin.
What truly captivated me was the connection between Aria and Pax. Their bond is so sweet and layered with tension. Pax is not just her soulmate; he’s her anchor in the storm of her chaotic life. The fact that he’s willing to break the rules and meet her in the light of day speaks volumes about his dedication to keeping her safe. Their relationship evolves beautifully, filled with moments that are both heart-pounding and tender.
As Aria's hallucinations begin to seep into her daily life, the stakes rise, leading to a gripping cross-country journey that highlights both the danger they face and the desire that ignites between them. The way Jackson intertwines their growing powers and the looming threat of a darker force is masterful, creating an atmosphere that kept me turning the pages late into the night.
And that cliffhanger? Wow, talk about a jaw-dropper! I’m already counting down the days until the next book! ❤️📚 If you’re craving a story that blends fantasy, romance, and suspense, definitely pick up *Visions of Darkness*! 🌌❤️
