Join Chris and Elsa as they have genuine conversations about books that were received badly, considered problematic or have mixed public opinions to figure out if they belong in our Library of Cursed Books or if they might have been judged a bit harshly.
You might be wondering if the Library of Cursed books has closed its doors to the world and if Chris and Elsa have fallen off the face of the Earth.
Well, we’ve got great news for those who have missed us.
((Also, pay attention to the first few seconds of the video announcement for Easter Eggs!))

Shadows, Moonlight and Desperation
In today's installment of Nightbane, Isla continues to attempt to seduce Oro (she is so desperate it's kind of sad) while also proposing a public demonstration of her powers via a traditional Wildling feast.
Shadow Daddy broadcasts a warning to all of Lightlark declaring war and offering an ultimatum: leave Lightlark or die with the island.
Fearing the worst, Isla makes an appeal to Cleo to stay on Lightlark.
We also witness the final version of Chris's version of Isla's musical voice. 😅
