Publisher's Summary

Desperate to delay an impending attack by the indigenous people of Xidda, Tau and his queen craft a dangerous plan. If Tau succeeds, the queen will have the time she needs to assemble her forces and launch an all-out assault on her own capital city, where her sister is being propped up as the 'true' Queen of the Omehi.

If the city can be taken, if Tsiora can reclaim her throne and reunite her people, then the Omehi might have a chance to survive the coming onslaught.

Still decent

Has good action, but not as good as the first book. Was still a decent book, but was expecting more as I absolutely loved the first entry into this series.

Intense. Obsessive. Brilliant

The only lack luster feeling I have to this series and it’s Author, is that he doesn’t have any more published books I can binge. You’ll feel everything Tau feels. Breathe the world he breathes, much like in the first book. But this time on the bigger political scale of the Omihe. And again, some of the best narration I’ve damn listened to in an audiobook.

Brilliant!

Evan Winter blew my expectations out of the water. Loved it. The narrative performance was also excellent. Can't wait for the next book.
