Publisher Description
Magic awakens. Darkness swells. A hero rises—and she’s ready to fight… New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan is back with an all-new epic romantasy set in the high-stakes world of A Fire in the Sky.
It’s been a year since Tamsyn transformed. From royal whipping girl in the palace of Penterra to the bride of Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands. From the enemy in the Beast’s bed to the wife he sacrificed himself to save. From an ordinary girl...to a dragon. And not just any dragon—a powerful fire-breather...and the best hope to keep magic from flickering out forever.
With Fell gone, torn from her side in the dangerous swirling mists of the Crags, Tamsyn is heartbroken and alone among the dragon pride. An unwelcome outsider still learning to survive in this fiery skin of hers within a new cutthroat society, she trains in the arena until her muscles burn and her blood spills. Slowly, Tamsyn forges herself into a warrior in the shadow of Fell’s enigmatic brother, Vetr, whose silver eyes track her with distrust...and maybe something more.
But is Fell truly beyond her reach? Their bond pulls at her, as fiercely as the drive to protect both humans and dragonkind from the growing threat posed by Stig, once her closest friend, now a relentless enemy determined to hunt her down and destroy her—and with her, all things magic.
Magic stirs in the darkness, strengthening all who believe in it. But will it be enough to save Tamsyn, the pride, the kingdom...and a fiery love fated to endure for centuries, as deep as a scar in the bone?
Customer Reviews
I’m glad I listened to this book for myself.
Before purchasing I read several reviews, and nearly didn’t give it a go. Like many I wish there had been more of a certain character in the book—even if it was just added to the tail end. I love me a good long listen when the listening is good. However, that doesn’t prevent my appreciation for how it was written. Sophie is a delightful writer. Everything lined up and made sense. True colors, depth of unsightly souls, resilience, delayed context, and a whisper of satisfaction are some of what lies in store.
There were some bits that are not for the faint of heart, and if you are such soul, skipping through those bits is a minimal part of the book.
This one definitely left me wanting to instantly start the next one—which has yet to come out… From the description it seems like there are new protagonists. I’m anticipating whatever Sophie has in store for us—and I’m hoping that some of the characters from the first two books are also included 🤞🏼
If you too are on the fence as I was, I encourage you to give it a listen for yourself and come to your own conclusions. To each their own.
—Happy listening
A let down from Book 1
Only thing Tamsyn in book 2 is good at is getting captured and over explaining boring inner monologues.
93% of the book was slow with meaningless side quests, the last 7% was rushed and still filled with purposeless scenes.
Truly disappointed. After spending 93% hurting over Fell only to spend the few chapters they got together acting like strangers.
Will go back to reading book 1 and wishfully think about what book 2 could have been.
