The Storm’s Betrayal (#2)
Previous: Weave the Lightning (#1) | Next: Imbue the Sky (#3)
Lies. Treason. Magic.
Celka can use magic in unprecedented ways—ways that may make her the perfect assassin. If Gerrit can get them close enough to his tyrannical father, together they could end the horrors of his rule. But to do it, Gerrit must prove unflinching loyalty to the regime.
Filip swore to give his life to protect Gerrit, his best friend. But as the man he loves turns himself into a stranger, and the woman who has come into their lives turns to him for protection, Filip must decide where his own loyalties truly lie.
If they’re successful, the three of them could liberate Bourshkanya from a reign of terror—but the cost may be everything they hold dear.
Reviews
"I really enjoyed returning to this Soviet-inspired world of storm magic, as stakes rise and loyalties are tested...Gerrit was definitely my favourite. I loved how his actions and perspective shifted as he tried to protect himself and give himself the tools to carry on without revealing his secrets. Basically, I love a good tragedy, and then I loved how he semi-pulled out of it by the ending, but it had altered his direction and beliefs. That’s about as much as I can say without giving away too many spoilers, but it was so compelling."
