Summary

"It's suicide, Shyla. You're the prize they want".

Through her courage and tenacity, Shyla Sun-Kissed has awoken the power of The Eyes of Tamburah. But this feat only marks the beginning of the challenges that the magical order, the Invisible Sword, faces to free the underground city of Zirdai.

Though they have allies among the monks and splinter cells inside the city, Shyla knows the Invisible Sword doesn't have the strength to win. With the group fracturing due to the strain of losses from their latest ordeal, thinly veiled suspicions and endless disagreements, it's up to Shyla to forge a new united order.

When both the draconian Water Prince and brutal Heliacal Priestess learn of Shyla's new powers, life becomes even more complicated as they will stop at nothing to capture Shyla and take the magic of The Eyes for themselves. Hunted at every turn and unable to hide, Shyla and the Invisible Sword must use every resource at their command - and unearth new ones - in their race to save the city from destruction. But their enemies always seem to be one step ahead. And the cost to win the battle may be more than Shyla would ever be willing to pay...

Great follow on

***spoilers ahead***

So city of zirdai is a great book following on from the first. The world has been set up beautifully and you really get a connection with the characters. Where the story breaks down is the ending. Some of the scenarios are abit fat fetched but the biggest issue is who replaces the water prince. The fact that Jayden had betrayed them instantly disqualifies him. To then come out of a cell after 32 days, not insane or mad but a changed man? Is pure rediculous. Just colours the whole book, let alone the fact that if you ignore that, why is this no body even a candidate? Has no skills, experience or charisma for the role.

Shyla Sun-Kissed or Leader of the Invisible Sword

Another awesome instalment from Maria in book 2 of The Archives of the Invisible Sword.
This book has adventure, treachery and twists you don’t see coming. For Soulfinders and those new to Maria, you won’t be disappointed.
With the addition of the talented Gabra Zackman, well worth the hard copy and audiobook purchase for multi media sources.
