Synopsis

The stunningly original, must-read fantasy follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.

When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first.

One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable-until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.

As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world-and of each other.

"Epic feminist fantasy."-Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author

"Truly not to be missed..."-Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with great pleasure that I present you the best release of 2018. (Actually it’s a tie between Furyborn and Sky in the Deep. Please don’t make me choose, I love them both.)

Goodreads review by destiny ♡ on June 23, 2018

DNF @ pg 210 I normally don't give star ratings to DNFs unless I've put in a substantial enough effort to fully determine my thoughts on the book, but I'd say 200+ pages of effort is enough to justify a star rating for this one. Do you ever have one of those books that something in your gut tells you......more
