Publisher's summary

A kingdom full of secrets. A queen ready to rise.Arianna's story continues in the second book in the #1 bestselling The Fae of Alastríona series by J.E. Reed.

Having just barely survived the brutality of slavery and war, Arianna has finally revealed herself as The Divine but has yet to fully understand the heavy responsibilities of her new role.

With their new mating bond still solidifying, Arianna and Rion arrive in Ruadhán, the royal city of Alastríona, so she can lay rightful claim to her throne. The city, however, is full of superstition about The Demon, and the pair is tested at every turn, especially by the male who is acting as regent . . . and was prophesied to be Arianna's true mate.

Though she aims to learn from those who have been ruling the city in her absence, Arianna's trust is shaken when she discovers the royal council is keeping life-altering secrets. Her search for the truth ensnares those closest to her as they work to unravel the mysteries surrounding the royal city and the Lord of Pádraigín.

And then a devastating mistake leads to bloodshed and an excruciating exile.

As Arianna's world turns upside down, she must decide what is real, who she can trust, and exactly what she is willing to fight for.

The second book in the #1 bestselling The Fae of Alastríona series returns listeners to a land haunted by war, where hearts are tested and the truth will either destroy the continent or set it free.

Good story

Good story, not great. I felt like it was slow paced and I kept getting bored. I’m still invested in the story to listen to the next book.

amazing

Wow! The sequel is just as amazing and I enjoyed every bit of the story. The amazing world building is expanded and there are many moving pieces that also had just as many unexpected surprises. The character development continues as they each grow and learn. It's a wonderful read with a lot of emotions that really moved me. I can't wait for the next book!

Super frustrating

I was really excited for the second book, but I feel like the entire plot was just lost. The MC’s are skeletons of their character of the first book. All of their character strength just went flying out the window. The constant whiplash of Arianna’s I’m not strong enough whining just made me want to quit reading, but I’m no quitter so I just got mad the longer I read. It may have not been so frustrating if the villainous plot wasn’t given away right at their arrival and the fact they just constantly let themselves be manipulated with no plan from the beginning, just constant wishing they never went. There wasn’t anything there to keep you on the edge.
