The Silver Citadel. From up here, this symbol of our power appears eternal. But it’s an illusion, nothing more. Fire is sweeping through Celonia. And if we do nothing, I fear Solanum too will burn.
Aderyn took the throne in a bid to avert civil war. But three months on, her grip on the crown is as precarious as ever. Fears are growing that the flightless of Solanum will be the next to rise up, and enemies old and new soon threaten Aderyn’s rule and the lives of those she loves.
Staking everything on a final attempt to save her nation, Aderyn must fly to unchartered territories and forge unexpected alliances. But will her courage be enough to defeat her enemies, secure her throne and unite her people?
‘Old enemies, new betrayals. This fierce and thrilling finale grips you tight and doesn’t let go.’ Vic James, author of The Dark Gifts trilogy and Sanctuary.
‘…ACoT will sink its claws into you, and keep you reading well into the night. As twistly and turny as its predecessor, with a rich and evocative workd, it’s the perfect pacy, high stakes sequel – my only criticism – why isn’t there a third?!’ Mich Kenney, author of The Book Of Fire trilogy.
‘…one of the best YA fantasy duologies I’ve read in the last few years!’ Micky, @bookphenomena
‘What an epic story! Action packed and full of twists and turns, I didn’t know who to trust from one minute to the next… This was a great finale to one of the best duologies I’ve ever read.’ Sammie, @just_keep_chasing_pages
‘With underlying currents of equality, sexuality, identity and a healthy dose of feminism, this book certainly lived up to (and exceeded!) my expectations. The action, along with many twists and turns, kept me on my toes and struggling to put the book down. Highly recommended.’ Goodreads review by Becca @horners_book_corner
