A thrilling sequel to These Rebel Waves--full of deadly magic,
double crosses, and a revolution--from Sara Raasch, the New York Times
bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series. Perfect for fans of
Shannon Hale, Leigh Bardugo, and Marissa Meyer.
As a child, she committed unforgivable acts to free Grace Loray from
King Elazar of Argrid. Now Elazar's plan to retake the island has
surpassed Lu's darkest fears: He's holding her and his son, Ben, captive
in an endlessly shifting prison, forcing them to make a weapon that will
guarantee Elazar's success.
Escape is impossible--unless Lu becomes the ruthless soldier she hoped
never to be again.
Vex failed to save Lu and Ben--and that torments him as much as his
Shaking Sickness. With the disease worsening, Vex throws himself into
the rebellion against Argrid. The remaining free armies are allied with
the stream raider syndicates--and getting them to cooperate will take a
strength Vex thought burned on a pyre six years ago.
Imprisoned, betrayed, and heartbroken, Ben is determined to end his
father's rampage. Watching Elazar sway the minds of Grace Loray as he
did those of Argrid, Ben knows he has to play his father's game of
devotion to win this war. But how can a heretic prince defeat the Pious
God?
As armies clash and magic rises, Lu, Vex, and Ben will confront their
pasts . . . or lose their futures forever.
