hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and
who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's
magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant
during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a
refugee. Training to be a warrior-and desperately in love with her
best friend, Winter's future king-she would do anything to help
Winter rise to power again. So when scouts discover the location of

to go after it herself-only to find herself thrust into a world of
evil magic and dangerous politics-and ultimately comes to realize
that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

Avatar: The Last Airbender meets Gladiator in the first book in
this epic fantasy duology in which two warriors must decide where
their loyalties lie as an ancient war between immortals threatens
humanity-from Sara Raasch, the New York Times bestselling author of
the Snow Like Ashes series, and Kristen Simmons, acclaimed author
of Pacifica and The Deceivers. Perfect for fans of An Ember in the
Ashes, And I Darken, and The Winner's Curse. Ash is descended from
a long line of gladiators, and she knows the brutal nature of war
firsthand. But after her mother dies in an arena, she vows to
avenge her by overthrowing her fire god, whose temper has stripped
her country of its resources. Madoc grew up fighting on the streets
to pay his family's taxes. But he hides a dangerous secret: he
doesn't have the earth god's powers like his opponents. His
elemental gift is something else-something that hasn't been seen in
centuries. When an attempted revenge plot goes dangerously wrong,
Ash inadvertently throws the fire and earth gods into a conflict
that can only be settled by deadly, lavish gladiator games,
throwing Madoc in Ash's path. She realizes that his powers are the
weapon her rebellion needs-but Madoc won't jeopardize his family,
regardless of how intrigued he is by the beautiful warrior. But
when the gods force Madoc's hand, he and Ash uncover an ancient war
that will threaten more than one immortal-it will unravel the
world.
A thrilling sequel to These Rebel Waves-full of deadly magic,
double crosses, and a revolution-from Sara Raasch, the New York
Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series. Perfect for
fans of Shannon Hale, Leigh Bardugo, and Marissa Meyer. As a child,
she committed unforgivable acts to free Grace Loray from King
Elazar of Argrid. Now Elazar's plan to retake the island has
surpassed Lu's darkest fears: He's holding her and his son, Ben,
captive in an endlessly shifting prison, forcing them to make a
weapon that will guarantee Elazar's success. Escape is
impossible-unless Lu becomes the ruthless soldier she hoped never
to be again. Vex failed to save Lu and Ben-and that torments him as
much as his Shaking Sickness. With the disease worsening, Vex
throws himself into the rebellion against Argrid. The remaining
free armies are allied with the stream raider syndicates-and
getting them to cooperate will take a strength Vex thought burned
on a pyre six years ago. Imprisoned, betrayed, and heartbroken, Ben
is determined to end his father's rampage. Watching Elazar sway the
minds of Grace Loray as he did those of Argrid, Ben knows he has to
play his father's game of devotion to win this war. But how can a
heretic prince defeat the Pious God? As armies clash and magic
rises, Lu, Vex, and Ben will confront their pasts . . . or lose
their futures forever.
A thrilling new fantasy series—full of deadly magic, double crosses, and a dangerous quest in a new world—from Sara Raasch, the New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes series.
Adeluna is a soldier. Five years ago, she helped the magic-rich island of Grace Loray overthrow its oppressor, Agrid, a country ruled by religion.
But adjusting to postwar life has not been easy. When an Argridian delegate vanishes during peace talks with Grace Loray’s new Council, Argrid demands brutal justice—but Lu suspects something dangerous is at work.
Devereux is a pirate. As one of the stream raiders who run rampant on Grace Loray, he scavenges the island’s magic plants and sells them on the black market. But after Argrid accuses raiders of the diplomat’s abduction, Vex becomes a target. An expert navigator, he agrees to help Lu find the Argridian—but the truth they uncover could be deadlier than any war.
Benat is a heretic. The crown prince of Argrid, he harbors a secret obsession with Grace Loray’s forbidden magic. When Ben’s father, the king, gives him the shocking task of reversing Argrid’s fear of magic, Ben has to decide if one prince can change a devout country—or if he’s building his own pyre.
As conspiracies arise, Lu, Vex, and Ben will have to decide who they really are . . . and what they are willing to become for peace.
