Narrado por: Korey Jackson, Susan Dalian, Kimberly Woods, Janina Edwards, Marcus Stewart, James Shippy, Adenrele Ojo

Salo must journey into the heart of darkness to find his way back home in the next epic book of C. T. Rwizi’s debut series.

Salo’s queen has finally accepted his desire to be a mystic despite taboos concerning men’s use of magic. But her acceptance is not support; it is strategy.

Under a disguise of the queen’s making, Salo enters Jungle City as a pilgrim to the Red Temple, only to find a magical barrier barring his entrance. Left at the mercy of the warring political factions that run the city, Salo faces a series of obstacles wrought by an unseen hand, knowing he cannot return home without completing his pilgrimage.

But Isa, King of the Saire clan, has her own plans for Salo. She needs his help to extract the Covenant Diamond from the Red Temple’s inner sanctum--an artifact with the power to end her tribe’s divisions, prevent a genocide, and even save herself from her fate. His new task in hand, Salo navigates a cursed maze of invisible authority--and when he encounters shocking revelations about the power residing in the depths of the undercity, he must wield his magic to finally bring the truth about his world’s history to light.

Amazing

Only half way thru and it’s just as amazing as Scarlet Odyssey. Very well narrated can’t wait to finish.

great sequel

I didn't care for the Isa storyline in the first novel but definitely living for it on this second book. not so patiently waiting for the third in the trilogy. hurry up already!

fantastic sequel

i read the first book last year during a book club read and ever since i finished ive been waiting for this one to release, i finally had so time finish it and it was superb. the story continues to be captivating and the performances are phenomenal. i am looking forward to the next installment.

A wonderful second installment

Wow, the romance turned up and I loved it. Can’t wait for the final book!

Brava but also how dare you hurt me like this

Wtf did I just read…. Unlike the first book that was filled with a whole lot of action and bloodshed, this book focused on pushing the political intrigue that came as result from the events in book 1. There was still enough action and bloodshed to appease my heart, but I have a few people on my hit list for next book.

What I love about this series is that you get into the POV of all of the players of the game, the good and the evil and watch as they plot and eventually come head to head for an epic battle whether politics, spears, or magic are the weapon of choice.

This book did a great job of not falling victim to the second book curse. The ending had me tearing up of anger, frustration, and sadness. I love Rwizi’s prose and this world that he has built and cultivated. The way he lured us in along with the characters and although some betrayals could be seen from miles away others and the extent of it hurt me real bad. I’m not ready to start another 600 page journey right now, but I cannot wait to finish out this series

Amazing Storytelling

A great continuation of the story. Wonderful world building, characters and a plot that keeps you interested!

Subterfuge

Everything is subterfuge! This book had me second guessing till the very end. I’m not sure where they go from here but I’m definitely going to find out.

Perfect combination of sci-fi/fantasy

AGOT in post-apocalyptic Africa that combines tech and magic with LITRPG undertones! Exquisite characters and so much societal and political intrigue...it has it all. Especially HEART! I hope there's more by this author and cast of readers soon! Love this story!
