INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The hotly anticipated epic sequel to the instant bestseller The Gilded Ones about a girl with the power to remake her world—or destroy it.

“Fans of Children of Blood and Bone, Mulan, and the Dora Milaje from Black Panther are going to adore [The Gilded Ones].”—BuzzFeed

It's been six months since Deka freed the goddesses in the ancient kingdom of Otera and discovered who she really is... but war is waging across the kingdom, and the real battle has only just begun. For there is a dark force growing in Otera—a merciless power that Deka and her army must stop.

Yet hidden secrets threaten to destroy everything Deka has known. And with her own gifts changing, Deka must discover if she holds the key to saving Otera... or if she might be its greatest threat.

The Merciless Ones is the second thrilling installment of the epic fantasy series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare tame her.

Book 2

Book 2 was just as good if not better!!! Definitely a fan of the author!

Beautiful Imagery

Environmental descriptions were incredible and unique without being overly verbose. I could really create a picture in my mind. Dialogue felt a bit contrived at times, but enjoyed the overarching story and characters.

Did not love narration…could be why the dialogue felt the way it did, but it was listen-able.

Love💐

The narrator was perfect and really embodied the character, you could hear every emotion down to the character questioning things, felt real. I switched between the audiobook and physical book, this book did not disappoint with all of the plot twists that I didn’t disappoint, I cannot wait to read book 3.

Amazing

Looking forward to part 3. I’m now a huge fan of this author. I was engaged from beginning to end.

LOVED IT

After reading the first book, The gilded ones, I was excited to read the second. I was NOT disappointed! I love her story so much! Can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Beautifully written!

This was a fantastic sequel to listen to. I enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns that drove this story forward. Definitely would love to see this turned into a film.

Absolutely excellent can’t wait for part three

The twist interns are real I didn’t expect the story to go this. Easy read quick couldn’t put it down the edge of my seat the entire time can’t wait for part three

I have no words

For once a sequel that's actually better than the first book. Makes me excited for the third. This book is about discovering one potential and finally understanding your true potential

Amazing
