Mayana and Ahkin are in the underworld and need to go through the levels of the underworld with trials. They must get the Mother’s Jade bones that she wants. They have Ona, Mayana’s old dog to guide them and heal them with licks. Yemenia’s brother is wanting to marry the empress to become emperor, but the empress is pushing away and wants Yemenia to become high healer. One night, Yemenia goes into the jungle and runs into a wounded enemy, who she ends falling in love with.
I really enjoyed this sequel. I love Ona and think he is so cute. Yemenia’s chapters were my favorite to read, even though Ahkin and Mayana had good chapters too. I didn’t like the instant love in the book though and some of Mayana’s actions drove me crazy. I can’t wait for the next book.
