"Immersive and gorgeously written." --Buzzfeed
The highly anticipated sequel to Raybearer, the instant New York
Times bestselling fantasy sensation that set the world on fire
For the first time, an Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To
appease the sinister spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a
council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must
then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future
atrocities.
Tarisai is determined to survive. Or at least, that's what she tells her
increasingly distant circle of friends. Months into her shaky reign as
empress, child spirits haunt her, demanding that she pay for past sins
of the empire.
With the lives of her loved ones on the line, assassination attempts
from unknown quarters, and a handsome new stranger she can't quite trust
. . . Tarisai fears the pressure may consume her. But in this finale to
the Raybearer duology, Tarisai must learn whether to die for justice . .
. or to live for it.
