An
Empress Fighting for Her Crown
After three long years in exile,
Nalia is ready to return to her homeland and sit on the throne that is
rightfully hers. But the gods might have other plans. Forced to endure untold
horrors on the journey to Arjinna, Nalia learns that it will take more than
cutting down the tyrant Calar to get her crown.
An
Army Fighting to Survive
Raif’s return to Arjinna as the
commander of the revolution against Calar and her army isn’t as smooth as he’d
hoped. Though he has more soldiers than ever before, his love for Nalia is
losing him the trust of his comrades...and the war. But little does the
resistance know that insurrection is brewing among Calar’s own ranks—and from
the one person she trusts the most.
A
Land Worth Fighting for
Arjinna is dying—Calar’s evil experiments
with dark magic and the strength of her own psychic powers threaten to destroy
the land of the jinn. Is Nalia and Raif’s enduring love enough to transform and
rescue their homeland? Will they be willing to save the realm, no matter the
cost?
My Thoughts
I still haven’t read book two yet. *Hides head in shame.* I
really enjoyed Exquisite Captive, but
I don’t remember a lot about it. To help myself remember, I think I’m going to
reread the first book before I marathon the whole trilogy.
Oh, and did you see that this book is going to be 600
pages?! Holy monkey! Blood Passage
was only 500, and Exquisite Captive
was around 480. There’s a huge page jump there. I’m hoping it doesn’t look too
weird on my shelf like Mary E. Pearson’s The
Beauty of Darkness does. Maybe Balzer + Bray will use the thin, Bible-like
pages…?
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
Ooh nice! Not sure I know this series! Hope you enjoy the finale!
