Synopsis

Siblings torn apart by betrayal grapple with their broken bonds—and fight to regain their power—in this stunning conclusion to a mythic epic fantasy duology from the New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls.

The Argyros siblings have lost everything. With their father dead and their family home captured, they’re no longer the rulers of their fractured kingdom—and no longer bound to each other.

In the frozen north, Rhea struggles to wield her newly inherited command over death and to find her place in an increasingly distrustful rebel group. Chrysanthi travels to a distant, war-torn land in search of her elusive brother Nitsos, certain that he is there on a dangerous mission to restore the family to its former glory, this time with himself at its head. And Lexos, now stripped of all his power and a political prisoner of the Domina family, is left to rot in a hauntingly desolate palace with nothing but thoughts of revenge.

Alone and farther apart than they’ve ever been, the siblings must reckon with the pain of their past and find a new path forward—or risk their own destruction.

In an Orchard Grown from Ash is the dramatic finale of a darkly beautiful, atmospheric saga that explores the cost of power and the weight of legacy.

Al comenzar, planeé darle a este libro 3 estrellas. Le estoy dando 4 porque aquí hay una muerte anticlimática pero creíble. Me he divertido haciendo esta reseña. Yo no me divierto haciendo reseñas. ¿Qué diablos? ...Me da risa esa parte en la que los 4 hermanos, pese a haber tomado caminos distintos, de a......more

My head hurts because I read this 460 page book in less than a day. I have no regrets. This book is not one to savour. I mean, the writing is beautiful, the characters complex, and the plot vast...but I had to drink it all in quickly to understand the full width of the novel. Set up beside the first......more

I will most likely give this series another try in the future. For now, though, it just didn't stick much with me, but hopefully, it will when I re-read it. The author`s writing style is neat, and I like the characters. I am just asked to dwell on a lot of stuff at once, which is too much for now.......more

Goodreads review by Donna

Thanks to Del Rey Books and Netgalley for the ARC. I remember after finishing In A Garden Burning Gold how much I was looking forward to the conclusion. I very much enjoyed the premise, politics, magic and characters in that story. After reading this, the only word that keeps repeating in my head is......more


Quotes

“The duology’s conclusion . . . is a raw, emotional journey of a family created and broken by the consequences of their actions.”Library Journal (starred review)

“Power’s blood-soaked and tragic conclusion to the Wind-Up Garden duology (after In a Garden Burning Gold) follows the four royal Argyros siblings—Rhea, Lexos, Nitsos, and Chrysanthi—in the wake of personal and political loss. . . . The author probes even deeper into her series’ exploration of power and corruption, but adds a hopeful note amid all the tragedy and destruction that makes the bloodshed feel worthwhile. Series fans will find this a satisfying conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly
