Blazing with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated sequel to the #1 Sunday Times bestseller The Wind Weaver.
Rhya Fleetwood is tired of being a pawn in other people’s wargames.
The fledgling wind weaver wants—needs—to master her magic before anything else is taken from her. She’s already lost her friends, her newfound home…will she lose Penn too? There’s no denying the scorching heat between them but, in the aftermath of battle, the Remnant of Fire burns more than anything to rebuild his kingdom and sate his inextinguishable need for revenge.
And he’s not the only one whispering to Rhya across the wind. From the distant island city of Hylios, another voice calls. Another bond pulls.
King Soren, Remnant of Water, is as different from Penn as sparks are from mist. The more insight he offers into the magic that binds them together, the more confused Rhya feels—about her future as a Remnant, about her deepest desires, and about her role in the coming war.
Torn between fire and sea, between the king who could break her heart and the king who understands her potential, Rhya will have to finally step into her power…or risk losing it altogether.
I didn't read the first book in this new series, The Wind Weaver, so I may have lost a bit going into this one. Sometimes I need all the back drama and character building, sometimes I can just jump right in. It's a toss-up. But, with all that said, this was a very good book!
TONS of action, just how I like it! Love a great adventure tale that takes you all around the story world. Loved reading about the complex and diverse characters, both fire and water, trying to make it work in a world that is out to get them. Some hard decisions that draw our leading pair even closer just sucks you further.
Really enjoyed the magical nature; the pictures painted on the pages were so vivid and lifelike. At times, I swear some Enya was playing in the background of my mind, just adding to the overall whimsical journey.
Enjoyed this one from the start, can't wait to read the next!
