SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first book in the series, A Curse So Dark and Lonely, Stop! I don’t want to ruin the story for you.
Please visit the Recaptains blog if you need a refresher of the first book.
“Find the heir, win the crown.
The curse is finally broken, but Prince Rhen of Emberfall faces darker troubles still. Rumors circulate that he is not the true heir and that forbidden magic has been unleashed in Emberfall. Although Rhen has Harper by his side, his guardsman Grey is missing, leaving more questions than answers.
Win the crown, save the kingdom.
Rumored to be the heir, Grey has been on the run since he destroyed Lilith. He has no desire to challenge Rhen--until Karis Luran once again threatens to take Emberfall by force. Her own daughter Lia Mara sees the flaws in her mother’s violent plan, but can she convince Grey to stand against Rhen, even for the good of Emberfall?
The heart-pounding, compulsively readable saga continues as loyalties are tested and new love blooms in a kingdom on the brink of war.” - taken from Goodreads.com
After the cliffhanger ending from the first book, readers will find that Rhen and Harper play minor roles in this second part of the story. Commander Gray and Lia Mara, the eldest daughter of Karis Luran, voice this part of the story. Gray is the only person that knows who the true heir of Emberfall is and he is determined to hold that secret close. Lia Mara will try just about anything to keep the peace between Syhl Shallow and Emberfall. When their paths unexpectedly cross, the two must rely on each other to escape Emberfall and take their chances with Karis Luran.
Some readers may find the beginning of this book slow or disappointed that Rhen and Harper have minor roles, but so many additional details and plot twists occur that if you thought the cliffhanger from the first book was bad, then this one is going to kill you.
The trilogy will conclude with book three, A Vow So Bold and Deadly, on January 12, 2021.
