SEQUEL TO EMPRESS OF THE SEA.
After losing her ship and her crew to Cronas and Kronos, Aeryn Branche-no longer captain of the White Crow-must learn to move on. But more than that, she has revenge to plan. Aeryn will take down Cronas and Kronos and whoever else gets in her way, even if it means she has to fall with them. Thankfully, she has the Black Egret to provide support, but unfortunately, dealing with its captain, Sehyun Han is a whole other story.
On the other hand, Prince Juele Fiore, once again trapped in his own home, must find a way to stop his father, the King of Auber from waging war against Tereline. But of course, nothing is easy. Juele will have to climb up the ranks and earn access to his father's war council to tear his plan down from within.
Princess Maya Djord, now an escapee from Auber's dungeons, runs into a friend of Han's: Marty. With him, she'll have to return to the Black Egret and inform Sehyun Han of the war to come. But that's not the only thing on the princess's plate. She has the duty of finding Iona, Reyna, and Illorin who were separated from the group upon her arrest.
With everyone separated and nothing but pain coming their way, is there even a token of hope to look forward to?

When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his. The farther she wanders from the safety of Niveus, the deeper she wades into the truth of the phoenix god and its Ember Core. All actions have consequences, and the primordial gods are not so forgiving to those that disrupt their order for selfish humanity. With the destruction of the Ember Core, the world between worlds is crumbling, and the Core Reapers are desperate to mend it--no matter what it costs the human realm. Held captive for meddling with the Core, Felix finds himself at the mercy of the Reapers to pay for Aiko's mistakes. With time and the gods against her, Aiko races to rescue him before it's too late. However, she won't have to do it alone. Magic abounds where Cores are born, and Niveus is not the only kingdom with a god-given gift. She joins forces with another Bright Soul: a young girl on a similar quest to find her missing sister. Together, they may be able to mend the world between worlds and save the ones they care for most. But the price of freedom is always a little more than one is willing to pay. ~𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 ~Completed!Complete
