Book Overview

Book two in the New York Times bestselling series called "Beautiful, brutal, heart-stopping, and epic" (Laini Taylor) Two queens, separated by thousands of years, connected by secrets and lies, must continue their fight amid deadly plots and unthinkable betrayals that will test their strength--and their hearts.

Rielle Dardenne has been anointed Sun Queen, but her trials are far from over. The Gate keeping the angels at bay is falling. To repair it, Rielle must collect the seven hidden castings of the saints. Meanwhile, to help her prince and love Audric protect Celdaria, Rielle must spy on the angel Corien--but his promises of freedom and power may prove too tempting to resist.

Centuries later, Eliana Ferracora grapples with her new reality: She is the Sun Queen, humanity's long-awaited savior. But fear of corruption--fear of becoming another Rielle--keeps Eliana's power dangerous and unpredictable. Hunted by all, racing against time to save her dying friend Navi, Eliana must decide how to wear a crown she never wanted--by embracing her mother's power, or rejecting it forever.

Customer Reviews

Draws you in to a world full of promise & intrigue. Great sequel.can’t wait for the 3rd installment!

I thoroughly enjoyed how the author captures your attention from the first few pages. Both young ladies are battling inner demons & both trying to control their choices and their own futures. Queen Reille wants so badly to tame/control everything around her & live up to the hope of being the one to save her people. Eliana tries so hard to keep the Empirium from controlling her & her choices. I am so excited to finally read the 3rd book!
