The second volume in the phenomenal Fae & Alchemy trilogy, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart, features more heart-stopping drama, even higher stakes, and far deadlier consequences. Duty. Blood. Honor. Power. Saeris Fane never asked for power, but as the newly crowned ruler of the vampire court, she’s discovering that sometimes even queens don’t get what they want. Saeris is desperately needed back in Zilvaren, but the recent changes that have strengthened her have also made her weak. With no reprieve from its punishing suns, the realm she once called home will likely kill her if she returns. Saeris must send someone in her stead…but does falling for Fisher mean that she can trust him? Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived hell, but this might just be the death of him. With a mysterious curse crippling Yvelia, the last thing Fisher wants to do is leave his lands and his people, but he made Saeris a promise—a promise he now intends to keep. As darkness falls across Yvelia, Saeris and Fisher must pass through fire and brimstone to save both their realms and the people they love. Trigger warning: Brimstone describes graphic violence and adult situations, and is for readers 17+.
