The next book in Amy Leow’s brilliant, Malaysian-influenced, political epic fantasy series following a goddess possessed by a demon.
It’s been eight years since Binsa’s attempt to unseal the god Rashmatun led to her doom. Now, her disciple Medha has taken her place on the Scarlet Throne. Powerless to enact change, she is counting down the days until she will be replaced.
But when a fellow vessel of the gods is found murdered, Medha is sent to the city of Sulat in search of answers. What she finds instead is a powder keg ready to explode. The charismatic king Parvish seeks to exert control over the realm. Foreign armies push at the border. A mysterious healer wanders the streets, spreading a new gospel.
And, in the taverns and teahouses around the city, rumors are beginning to spread. Rumors of an ancient god, long lost, walking the earth again. Rumors that it wears a familiar face…
Book two in an explosive epic fantasy series by Amy Leow which began with The Scarlet Throne. Perfect for fans of Tasha Suri, this dark, heart-thumping tale follows a young “living goddess” sitting on the throne who hides a deadly secret-she doesn’t channel a goddess, but a demon-and she’ll do anything to hold onto her power.
