Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

The second thrilling Arkspire adventure from the bestselling author of Frostheart.

Glorious, powerful, magic; a city of twists, turns and tricksters; extraordinary secrets which only one girl can uncover . . . welcome to the world of Arkspire.

In the magical city of Arkspire, Juniper Bell’s Order of Misfits have one mission – to take down the five powerful (not to mention evil) Arcanists who control everything.

Juni’s already survived one deadly Arcanist trial, and with mysterious shadow creature Cinder at her side, the rest will be easy. You just have to think positively about these things.

But the Arcanists might have more tricks up their sleeve than Juni had anticipated. And Cinder’s power is growing, along with his insatiable thirst for revenge. Has Juni bitten off more than she can chew this time?

A thrilling adventure and astonishingly illustrated new fantasy series, from the bestselling author of Frostheart.

Goodreads review by Matthew on August 10, 2024

It took me a while longer to get into this book. I think there’s perhaps one thing too much happening in the world of this story which means the narrative gets fragmented when focusing on the various revelations. This added a strange pace to it, but the final third of the novel found its way back to......more
