The stunning sequel to The Jasmine Throne, Winner of the World Fantasy Award, in which a powerful priestess and a vengeful princess will change the fate of an empire.
? "Alluring, action-packed, and gut-wrenching."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
The prophecy of the nameless god—the words that declared Malini the rightful empress of Parijatdvipa—has proven a blessing and curse. She is determined to claim the throne that fate offered her. But even with rage in her heart and the army of loyal men by her side, deposing her brother is going to be a brutal and bloody fight.
The power of the deathless waters flows through Priya’s blood. Now a thrice born priestess and an Elder of Ahiranya, she dreams of seeing her country rid of the rot that plagues it: both Parijatdvipa's poisonous rule, and the blooming sickness that is spreading through all living things. But she doesn’t yet understand the truth of the magic she carries.
Their chosen paths once pulled them apart. But Malini and Priya's souls remain as entwined as their destinies. And saving their kingdom from those who would rather see it burn will come at a terrible price.

I enjoyed book 2 in the series a much book 1 , there was lots of action , intrigue and suspense . The world building is exquisite and having the different chapters written from different characters pov really gives a well rounded feel and completely immerses the reader into the story .
Shiromi Arserio narration is once again brilliant. I can't recommend this book enough once you've read book 1 . Looking forward to the release of the next book so I can catch up with old friends
