Why Read This?

Synopsis

In a bid for more power, the Shadow Queen of Haradis has unleashed a malignant force into the world. Her son Brishen, younger prince of the Kai royal house, suddenly finds himself ruler of a kingdom blighted by a diseased darkness and on the brink of war. His human wife Ildiko must decide if she will give up the man she loves in order to secure his throne. Three enemy kingdoms must unite to save each other, and a one-eyed, reluctant king must raise an army of the dead to defeat an army of the damned. A tale of alliance and sacrifice.

At a Glance

Book 2 of Wraith Kings and a direct sequel to Radiance—do NOT start here. Brishen and Ildiko's marriage of convenience has become a genuine love story, and Eidolon tests that bond through war, political upheaval, and necromancy. Brishen must raise an army of the dead to fight his mother's unleashed demons. Grace Draven's prose is lush and atmospheric, and the interspecies romance (they find each other physically repulsive but deeply attractive in every other way) remains one of fantasy romance's most original premises. Higher stakes than Radiance, same emotional warmth. HEA delivered, but the series continues.
