Sabriel meets Romeo and Juliet in the stunning sequel to Bright
Smoke, Cold Fire--from Rosamund Hodge, the author of Cruel Beauty and
Crimson Bound.
In the last days of the world, the walls of Viyara are still falling,
and the dead are rising faster than ever.
Juliet is trapped--ordered by Lord Ineo of the Mahyanai to sacrifice the
remaining members of her family, the Catresou, to stave off the end of
the world. Though they're certain his plan is useless, Juliet and her
former friend Runajo must comply with Lord Ineo's wishes--unless they
can discover a different, darker path to protecting Viyara.
Romeo is tortured: Finally aware that his true love is alive, he is at
once elated and devastated, for his actions led directly to the
destruction of her clan. The only way to redemption is to offer his life
to the Catresou to protect and support them . . . even if it means dying
to do so.
When Romeo's and Juliet's paths converge once again, only a journey into
Death will offer answers and the key to saving them all--but is it a
journey either of them will survive?
