“The Emperor is Dead. Long live the Emperor.

Lin Sukai finally sits on the throne she won at so much cost, but her struggles are only just beginning. Her people don’t trust her. Her political alliances are weak. And in the north-east of the Empire, a rebel army of constructs is gathering, its leader determined to take the throne by force.

Yet an even greater threat is on the horizon, for the Alanga–the powerful magicians of legend–have returned to the Empire. They claim they come in peace, and Lin will need their help in order to defeat the rebels and restore peace.

But can she trust them?”

I was so excited to get an arc of this! I loved, loved, loved The Bone Shard Daughter last year and this was one of my anticipated reads of 2021. I really love Lin and Jovis with how their relationship grows. The politics definitely picked up in this book and I am a sucker for political intrigue. I love how all the characters have come together and I’m really looking forward to the next book to see what will happen.
