Synopsis from Goodreads: Ana Mikhailov is the only surviving member of the royal family of Cyrilia. She has no army, no title, and no allies, and now she must find a way to take back the throne or risk the brutal retribution of the empress. Morganya is determined to establish a new world order on the spilled blood of non-Affinites. Ana is certain that Morganya won't stop until she kills them all.

Ana's only chance at navigating the dangerous world of her homeland means partnering with Ramson Quicktongue again. But the cunning crime lord has schemes of his own. For Ana to find an army, they must cross the Whitewaves to the impenetrable stone forts of Bregon. Only, no one can be certain what they will find there.

A dark power has risen. Will revolution bring peace--or will it only paint the streets in more blood.

My Review: I was so excited to get to read this one and it did not disappoint! I loved the first one and couldn't wait to get back to the story. My favorite thing about this story is the characters. They are so quick witted and complex. Both Ana and Ramson have grown and matured in this book and I loved to see that. Too often middle books fall to trying to set up for book three and end up feeling forced and slow but that was not the case with this one. It was still action packed and full of intrigue. the scenery was very well described without being overdone and I loved the unique magic system. Definitely recommend this one!
