Publisher's Summary

In this mesmerizing sequel to the New York Times best seller Girls of Paper and Fire, Lei and Wren have escaped the oppression of the Hidden Palace, but their freedom comes at a terrible cost.

Lei, the naive country girl who became a royal courtesan, is now known as the Moonchosen, the commoner who managed to do what no one else could. But slaying the cruel monarch wasn't the culmination of her destiny - it was just the beginning. Now Lei, with a massive bounty on her head, must travel the kingdom with her warrior love Wren to gain support from the far-flung rebel clans.

Meanwhile, a plot to eliminate the rebel uprising is taking shape, fueled by dark magic and vengeance. Will Lei succeed in her quest to overthrow the monarchy, or will she succumb to the sinister magic that seeks to destroy her bond with Wren, and their very lives?

Can't wait for the next book!

It's been many years since I've found myself hungry for more every time I *have to* stop reading/listening to a book, to deal with daily life. The first and second book really wrap you up it its world.

A mature love story for women who love women

This is a mature read as there is war,death and sex and sexual assault.

That said it is a compelling read that shows how a relationship can struggle under the pressure of war and trauma.

Not as good as the first book.

lots of deus ex machina plot points, and some characters/things changed pronunciation between last book and this one.
