The Midnight Star is a fantasy novel by American author Marie Lu and the third and final book in The Young Elites trilogy.

[2] The book follows the titular character, Adelina Amouteru, after her takeover of the kingdom that once hated her.

After becoming Queen of Kenettra, Adelina gets a letter from Rafael stating that her sister, Violetta, is dying.

They make a deal with Adelina in which she and the Roses travel to the portal of the gods to return their powers.

The elites enter the portal and meet monsters that feed on their godlike powers.

Adelina meets the Moritas and sees the dead body of Violetta and begins to cry.

Violetta is transported back to the entrance of the portal where she cries and explains what happened.

A couple of months later Violetta begs the Goddess of Empathy, Compasia, to give her sister back.

Her hair and lashes are painted a shifting silver, and a scar crosses one side of her face.

Others say that she was once a wicked queen, a worker of illusions, a girl who brought darkness across the lands.
