The Tattooed Duchess

A Fire Beneath the Skin, Book 2

De: Victor Gischler

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

In the second installment of the A Fire Beneath the Skin trilogy, Rina Veraiin has youth, beauty, and strength. She is a born warrior, able to outride any man, deal death with her fierce blade, and command awesome and mysterious forces granted to her by a set of magical tattoos. Now as the newly minted duchess of Klaar, Rina confronts a menace that threatens her world in a divine conflict that will push her newfound abilities to their limits.

As sinister and magical forces unite against her, Rina's only chance at stopping them is to gain new tattoos that will increase her powers beyond anything she has known before. United with her few trusted companions, she makes her desperate quest across a bloodshed-ravaged land while war brews among the gods.

With the enchanted world of Helva hanging in the balance, Rina must learn to wield extraordinary power to save herself and her people, before unimaginably powerful forces—and the savage fury of the gods—tear apart the land forever.

Half a book

Charming writing and an interesting world, but ultimately nothing much happens in book 2 — it seems to be mere prelude to book 3.

Good transirion book.

This is a transition book . and not as exciting as Book one. HOWEVER, for the series to continue one must get the characters in line. great characters and the reading is excellent.

Wait For The Ending

Wait until all the books in the series is complete. The endings in the first books don't tie the books up. Cliff hangers.... Personal preference is not to have stories flip back and forth between story segments.. The books are adequate I finished them.

Continually Entertaining

This middle novel, the second of the trilogy, was delightful and engaging, though the ending wasn’t so much of an ending as a set up for the final book. The complete series is wonderful, and prompted me to seek out more of Gischler’s work.

just as good as the first in series

Great story, phenomenal narration.

The book is mostly unpredictable where it counts, and very entertaining, with interesting and well developed characters.
The narrator's performance is superb!

Looking forward to the next book.
