Now is the time for Vigilance.
-Solan Alexander
The Lucem’s long standing alliance with the Agency is on thin ice. Spies have infiltrated their ranks and the Atrum are on the move once again.
To make matters worse, Jet is struggling to understand his role in the legendary order known as the Lucem. And, thanks to his undercover duties, he is falling behind in his study of the ancient art known as Vishmu. He is sworn to protect his warden, Kamber Caster, as she begins her first semester at Skylight University. But he must also keep a watchful eye on his old friend, Cutter Jade, as their enemy, the Atrum, will stop at nothing to gain the upper hand, including kidnapping and murder.
With the Century Eclipse approaching, and Tyberius Alexander missing, Solan is forced to take control of the Lucem. When she intercepts communications that the Atrum are planning something diabolical, the Lucem must take up their oath to protect the citizens of Skylight. Stars collide when Jet comes face to face with his old classmates and he must decide the fate of those closest to him.
In this epic sequel to The Prism Affect, the biggest mystery of the century will finally be revealed. Who is the trueSkylight Fallout, which side will they be on, and to what lengths will the Atrum go to secure victory?
One thing is certain. The next phase of The Prism Affect is destined to be set in motion by the Skylight Fallout, and neither the Atrum or the Lucem can change their fate… or can they?

The Skylight Fallout picks up where The Prism Affect left off and offers very little in terms of recap, so reading this series in order is absolutely required! A war has been going on behind the scenes for centuries, pitting secret societies Lucem and Atrum against one another endlessly, and Jet just discovered in the previous book that he belongs to the Lucem. In this continuation, he has settled into his new life and he has been tasked with protecting another young member, Kamber, as she enters the university like Jet did just a short time ago.
This book does a great job of balancing action with world-building and isn’t afraid to kill of characters you might be growing attached to. I like a story that spares no feelings! With that said, it isn’t the smoothest read, particularly in the early chapters. The early chapters also lack quite a few names and faces I expected to see again right away based on where we left off, and that made me quite impatient!
As before, I love the way fantasy is blended with bleak-future science fiction in these books. Science Fantasy is definitely one of my favourite subgenres to read, and Wint does it well. This action-packed series is shaping up to be like a science fantasy love child of Dune and The Kingsmen, and I love it!
