Summary & Review:
The words that said Malini was the rightful empress of Parijatdvipa came from an unknown god and have turned out to be both a blessing and a curse. She is determined to take the throne that fate granted her. Deposing her brother will be a brutal and bloody fight, even though she is furious and has an army of loyal men by her side.
Priya’s blood has the power of the waters that can’t die in it. She has been born three times and is now an Elder of Ahiranya. Her dream is for her country to be free of the evil that is destroying it: Parijatdvipa’s poisonous rule and the disease that is spreading to all living things. She has magic, but she doesn’t know what it really means yet.
