A young woman who wields the unimaginable power of the dragon must decide where her loyalties lie—and where her heart belongs—in this enthralling fantasy that reimagines the legend of Mulan.

The explosive sequel to The Night Ends with Fire!

The war may be over, but Hai Meilin is still paying a heavy toll. In spite of securing victory for the kingdom of Anlai, she is imprisoned upon her return. Her crime? Wielding a sword as a woman.

In the palace, Meilin is an outcast and a social pariah. But beyond the imperial walls, the legend of the woman warrior has taken on a life of its own. To the east, a new rebel leader needs Meilin to helm his people’s revolution. In the south, a former enemy prince, now a prisoner of war, seeks Meilin’s aid in restoring balance to the Three Kingdoms. And back home in Anlai, Liu Sky, Meilin’s commander and first love, requires Meilin by his side in his bid for the throne.

Pulled in all directions by those who seek to use her for their own ends, Meilin vows that this time, she will not be so quick to trust. Yet there is one she cannot help but listen to—for he dwells within her.

Beyond any human machinations, the sea dragon Qinglong has his own plans for the spirit realm. During the last war, Meilin wielded his power to cheat death and attain victory for Anlai; now the dragon has come to collect his dues. Meilin’s mother warned her long ago: The spirits demand blood. And Qinglong is ravenous. Action & Adventure Dragons & Mythical Creatures Fairy Tales Fantasy Fiction Royalty Outcast Dragons Heartfelt War

Much better than the first book. Really enjoyed all the FMC & MMC moments & the moral/message of the book that power comes at a cost & it’s better for one to give up power and greed for what really matters.

The ending was a bit sad but not for the reasons you’d think.

The journey was interesting and I liked the development of the love interests. I wish there were more explanation to the connection one love interest had with the FMC.

I surprisingly liked the ending (very last page) but it made me sad.

I also enjoyed the strong messages behind the book. It was worth the read.

Kept me engaged. Left me kinda sad.
