Anuja Varghese: A Curse of Emerald Flame, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

They fought a tyrant king and won in A Kiss of Crimson Ash . But in the second book of this medieval India-inspired fantasy trilogy from a remarkable Canadian talent, the battle for the empire gets far more dangerous.

Taara, Queen of Abhaya, is eager to return home after her victory, with her love, Payal, by her side. But when the emperor she believed to be her enemy extends an invitation to the capital - and an offer of great power - Taara is faced with an impossible choice: love or destiny.

Meanwhile, playboy prince turned world-weary king Garjan must contend with the consequences of unleashing the Crimson Ash - a plague of rakshasas, vicious monsters escaped from the realms of demons. He has help from his friends - even though they might be thieves and monsters themselves - and the love of shapeshifter courtesan Bhediya... until divided loyalties and unexpected desires threaten to tear them all apart.

When demons stalk the streets and divinity and darkness intertwine - nobody knows who to trust. With an entire empire at risk, they must decide: What if the cost of saving everyone is more than anyone is willing to pay?
