The Fires of Vengeance (The Burning, 2)
In order to reclaim her throne and save her people, an ousted queen must join forces with a young warrior in the second book of this "relentlessly gripping, brilliant" epic fantasy series from a breakout author (James Islington).
Tau and his Queen, desperate to delay the impending attack on the capital by the indigenous people of Xidda, craft a dangerous plan. If Tau succeeds, the Queen will have the time she needs to assemble her forces and launch an all out assault on her own capital city, where her sister is being propped up as the 'true' Queen of the Omehi.
If the city can be taken, if Tsiora can reclaim her throne, and if she can reunite her people then the Omehi have a chance to survive the onslaught.

Great follow up to TRoD. Definitely thought Hadith was going to die there, but he comes back twice as badass. Jabari is build entirely different, and if there's a live action ever made I really wonder how they'll convey his transformation in a tasteful manner. Can't wait for book 3 to figure out what the cull really is!
I bought this soon after starting to read The Rage of Dragons. I loved the story and knew I needed to buy this so that I could continue without a break. Of course it did not disapoint! I practically inhaled the story without a break... but now here I am, done. Done and without the third novel. It is all fun and games till we must wait for the next book
This felt even more brutal and heart-wrenching than the last one did! This series continues to amaze me at its scope, scale, and intrigue. There were characters from the first book I started to not like in this one, and characters from the first book I didn't really like and started to love in this one. By the end I was on the edge of my seat, can't wait for the next one to come out!
