Empires rise. Empires fall. But the fire cannot be chained.
In a world where the Eagle has turned to ash and the Crescent rules with pride, three unlikely witnesses carry a story no empire can silence. A chained princess, a scribe with forbidden words, and a soldier torn from his throne of pride must decide what endures when crowns crumble.
Empires rise in pride. Empires fall in ashes. But the fire cannot be chained.
The Eagle is gone, reduced to ash. The Crescent stands triumphant across Europe, its banners stretching from Rome to the walls of Paris. Yet beneath the clash of crowns and cannons, another story burns-one no empire can silence.
Isabella, a princess who carries her chains like a crown, becomes the living witness of Rome's endurance.
Selim, a scholar turned scribe, gathers scraps of forbidden words into a Chronicle that armies could not destroy.
Kemal, once the lion of the empire, begins to question the pride he serves-and discovers a fire no throne can command.
From the tunnels under Vienna to the catacombs of Rome, from Alpine hymns to the siege of Paris, The Eagle and the Crescent sweeps across a world turned upside down. Battles rage, banners fall, and pride stumbles-but the fire of faith spreads unbroken.
The Faithfire Cycle continues in this blockbuster second volume-an alternate-history epic where thrones tremble, chains turn into crowns, and truth outlives empires.
