Aurora Firedrake returns in the spellbinding sequel to The Last of the Firedrakes.
The seven kingdoms of Avalonia are crumbling and evil is spreading across the land like a plague. Queen Morgana is close to finding a way to open The Book of Abraxas and it’s only a matter of time until she uses the power trapped inside its pages to enslave the entire world.
With Avalonia growing more dangerous by the day, Aurora must travel through war-torn lands and deep into the heart of the fae kingdom of Elfi. Her goal is to find a legendary weapon infused with the last of the realm’s ancient magic—the only weapon in the world powerful enough to stop the queen.
Aurora might have survived her first battle against Morgana, but the true fight to save her kingdom and restore her throne has only just begun…

My Rating: 5 Stars
Picking up where the first left off, we are once again transported to a breathtaking word of magic, beauty and an adventure to save the kingdom.
This story as a fast pace, action packed, plot twisted, adventure that had my stomach in knots. It was worth the wait and I can't wait to read the next book, because that ending... that ending!!! My heart is on the verge of exploding.
I love other world books, and this is no exception. From the fantastic characters, to the solid plot, the detail, everything about this book is top notch. The author has a way with world that captures your mind, body and soul. Rich, luscious and down right 3D. I felt like I was there, on the adventure myself.
I will say there is a bit do a love triangle, and I do hate me a love triangle, but I wasn't bother at all with this one. I don't know why, but I believe it was the way it was written. It did feel like it was forced or teenage. It was mature, and it added to the amazingness.
Take my high recommendation that you will fall into so much more then love with this book.
Happy Reading
