Aven Cycle, Book 2

De: Cass Morris

Narrado por: Khristine Hvam

The second book of the Aven Cycle explores a magical Rome-inspired empire, where senators, generals, and elemental mages vie for power.

Latona of the Vitelliae, mage of Spirit and Fire, is eager to wield her newfound empowerment on behalf of the citizens of Aven - but societal forces conspire to keep her from exercising her gifts, even when the resurgence of a banished cult plots the city's ruin. To combat this threat, Latona must ally with Fracture mage Vibia, the distrustful sister of Sempronius Tarren.

While Latona struggles to defend their home, Sempronius leads soldiers through war-torn provinces to lift the siege of Toletum, where Latona's brother, Gaius, is hemmed in by supernatural forces. Sempronius must contend not only with the war-king Ekialde and his sorcerers, but with the machinations of political rivals and the temptations of his own soul, ever-susceptible to the darker side of ambition.

Though separated by many miles soon after their love affair began, Latona and Sempronius are united by passion as they strive to protect Aven and build its glorious future.

Can't wait for the next one

Loved it! great stories and characters. We need more fantasy like this set in the ancient world.

You need dis

Did you know that you needed a book about Romans versus eldritch horrors and ghosts? Well you do. How about a story about three sisters’s incredible bond built on mutual respect for their very different gifts and personalities? You need that too. How about a story that invites us to question the judgment and righteousness of our main and most beloved characters? You definitely need that. Finally, you will learn more about Roman Republican history, and the history of their long suffering neighbors, from this parallel fantasy world than you will from just about anybody else short of Mike Duncan. This book really has it all. A great, perfectly earned evolution from the first book, From Unseen Fire, which I also can’t recommend enough.
