THE SEARING ROMANTASY PHENOMENON CONTINUES

Revenge is a fire that burns bright in the epic finale of the Sunday Times bestselling duology that began with A Fate Forged in Fire.

Aemyra Daercathian is a queen on the run. Having failed to take Àird Lasair and betrayed by her husband - whom she grew to trust and and was beginning to fall for during her time in captivity - Aemyra is forced to retreat with a raging desire for revenge. But before she can settle the score and fulfill a sacred promise to kill Fiorean, her forces must rest and replenish their strength.

No one can know the truth.

Even though Aemyra has a fierce dragon and a large army of elemental wielders called Dùileach standing behind her, she has lost what's most important to her - her fire magic. Haunted by her love for her enemy, and unsure if she is even goddess-blessed anymore, Aemyra vows to do right by her people. Even if that means she must make a new kind of alliance, one that could mean winning back her kingdom. At a cost to her heart...

From the ashes, Aemyra must emerge as a new kind of queen, but will she be the dawn for her people or the fire that burns everything to the ground?

A magnificent conclusion to McBride's epic, feminist fantasy. A story gorgeous, violent, chaotic, in which 'all is fair in love and war' is taken to new and literal extremes. Aemyra's growth drives the narrative as she learns the human cost of war and what it truly means to rule. McBride deftly weaves political machinations, romance, and truly epic battles on dragon back; this book is a full sensory experience, addictive and action-packed. * Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy *
