Synopsis via Goodreads:
Eventually, Ash’s and Jenna’s paths will collide in Arden. Thrown together by chance and joined by their hatred of the king, they will come to rescue each other in ways they cannot yet imagine.
Set in the world of the acclaimed Seven Realms series a generation later, this is a thrilling story of dark magic, chilling threats, and two unforgettable characters walking a knife-sharp line between life and death.
The first in a thrilling new four-book fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima, set in the same world as her beloved Seven Realms series, a generation later.
Adrian sul’Han, known as Ash, is a trained healer with a powerful gift of magic—and a thirst for revenge. Ash is forced into hiding after a series of murders throws the queendom into chaos. Now Ash is closer than he’s ever been to killing the man responsible, the cruel king of Arden. As a healer, can Ash use his powers not to save a life but to take it?
Abandoned at birth, Jenna Bandelow was told that the mysterious magemark on the back of her neck would make her a target. But when the King’s Guard launches a relentless search for a girl with a mark like hers, Jenna assumes that it has more to do with her role as a saboteur than any birth-based curse. Though Jenna doesn’t know why she’s being hunted, she knows that she can’t get caught.

The cover for this book looks absolutely stunning, I can't wait to read it. I recently picked up the first book in her Seven Realms
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by Cinda before but this one looks like a great start :)
DeleteMy boyfriend introduced me to the Seven Realms series and it was sooooo good! I'm really excited for Flamecaster, I hope we'll have a lot of cameos from the characters of Seven Realms. The cover is similar to the other ones so it matches, it's great! I'm glad we'll have a chance to get back into this world and meet new characters. It's a great pick, I hope you have a nice Wednesday! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I need to jump on Seven Realms then. Yeah, I notice the cover matches her other series. Maybe I should pick up the previous series before starting this one :)
DeleteOne of these days, I'm going to read her books. :D
ReplyDeleteI say the same thing but never get around to it. Hopefully soon :)
