This is the second book to the Queen of Ash and Flame book series. I would suggest to read book one first before reading this story. A war is coming to Aestridel, darkness and mosnters are arriving. Natallia and Lucian are trying to get the forces of their new land to fight and prepare. Instead of having parties and lying around. This book is in the point of view of Lucian Mendalez. Betrayal. Enemies. War. All is too come and their is nothing to stop it.
