Summary (Goodreads):

The Great War consumes all in its path, but for the assassins at Talon it’s just another day on the job . . . until a new threat rises from the smoke of war-torn Europe to obliterate the world as they know it.

After successfully rescuing Phillip from the clutches of the Order of the Rising Moon, Jack Vale and Ivy Olwen are relieved to end their months-long chase across Eastern Europe and recover from their wounds back at Talon headquarters. A happy homecoming, however, is not written in the stars. Ambushed and beaten, Jack disappears into the darkness of night without a trace.

Ten years later, Ivy has long accepted her husband as dead, even though she sees echoes of him behind every doorway and in every corner. She single-mindedly focuses on the mission of Talon: to ensure good outweighs the evil in the world. But the fight against darkness has only just begun, and sometimes the enemy you should fear is the one within . . .

Completing the epic duology from bestselling author J’nell Ciesielski, To Free the Stars incorporates her signature blend of thrilling adventure, glamorous espionage, and sweeping romance.

My Review:

Read if you like: action/adventure historical books, Marvel/Captain America
–
The book takes place ten years after the first book and Jack and Ivy need to work together to end the Order of the Rising Moon.
–
I loved reading more about Jack and Ivy. The author did such a good job setting up their love story in the first book. The ten-year jump took me a bit to adjust to but the book was action-packed and I loved all the twists and turns!
