Resumen del Editor

The magicians want her to lead.

The sorcerers want her to lie.

The demons want her blood.

Henrietta wants to save the one she loves.

But will his dark magic be her undoing?

In this seductive and explosive second book in the Kingdom on Fire series, Jessica Cluess delivers her signature mix of magic, passion, and teen warriors fighting for survival. For fans of Victoria Aveyard, Sarah J. Maas, and Kiersten White.

Henrietta doesn't need a prophecy to know that she's in danger. She came to London to be named the chosen one, the first female sorcerer in centuries, the one who would defeat the Ancients. Instead, she discovered a city ruled by secrets. And the biggest secret of all: Henrietta is not the chosen one.

Still, she must play the role in order to keep herself and Rook, her best friend and childhood love, safe. But can she truly save him? The poison in Rook's system is transforming him into something monstrous as he begins to master dark powers of his own. So when Henrietta finds a clue to the Ancients' past that could turn the tide of the war, she persuades Blackwood, the mysterious Earl of Sorrow-Fell, to travel up the coast to seek out strange new weapons. And Magnus, the brave, reckless flirt who wants to win back her favor, is assigned to their mission. Together, they will face monsters, meet powerful new allies, and uncover the most devastating weapon of all: the truth.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Devastatingly magical and monstrously romantic. I can't decide if this book stole my heart or ripped it out of my chest." (Stephanie Garber, author of Caraval)

"Cluess gamely turns the chosen-one trope upside down in this smashing dark fantasy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Overall: Good

The title is really all you need to know as a second book in a series. It was better than the first book, in my opinion. I think I’ve seen some people have some issues with the love square, but it seemed to make sense to me.

The narrator is really great. I adore her voice.

It’s was pretty good

I enjoy it. Maybe it was me but I was hoping for a little more romance. Overall not a bad book to keep you busy during work. Happy reading!

A thrilling adventure

It’s hard to review this without spoilers but I will say what I always hope to see on sequel reviews - this was just as good if not better than the first book and i am so excited to read the third whenever it is released.

Loved it!

Loved the characters. Loved the plot. Loved the twists and turns. Loved the ending. Loved!

more magic - the story continues - very enjoyable

A very interesting story - a nice new creative take on magic. The narrator was good - did a great job with the characters. If you like Victorian England with magic, this is the story for you. My only negative is the series isn't complete so you have to wait for the books to be released.

2nd better than 1st

Great continuation of the series. Some heartbreak and amazing narration. Can’t wait to read the 3rd one!

Jessica did it again! a great second in a series and I can't wait for the third. Fiona is the best of the best when it comes to narration. she did fantastic as always!

CAPTIVATING!!

This book kept me enthralled! It played with my heart like a ferocious kitten with a string. Then the kitten chewed up the string digest it and shat it out. Now I'm sitting here like like a lifeless turd. LOVED!
