Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders.
Her ward - and her brother - need her back in her homeland . . . but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead . . .
'Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all seven Gods, do NOT crack any jokes.'
Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City. Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate again.
A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and brimstone to save them.
This sequel really cranked up the intensity and still kept me fully invested from start to finish. While it did not quite hit the same high for me as the first installment, I still genuinely enjoyed the experience and never felt like putting it down.
We get a lot more clarity in this one, and the world feels like it opens up in a really exciting way. The magic system feels deeper and more layered, and the characters continue to grow in ways that kept me intrigued. Secrets begin to unravel at a steady pace, and there are plenty of shocking reveals that change everything you thought you knew.
There are also major choices and shifting alliances that make the stakes feel even higher, along with some deals that had me pausing just to process what was happening. It is chaotic in the best way, packed with emotion, tension, and plenty of spice woven throughout.
That ending left me completely stunned, and now the wait for the next installment feels impossible.
