Magic and sacrifice will collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart-pounding sequel to The Isles of the Gods, which Stephanie Garber called ''deliciously diabolical and full of heart'' from the New York Times bestselling author of the Illuminae Files and the Aurora Cycle. They fell in love in the shadow of war. But can their love withstand the ambitions of the gods? When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain''s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amidst talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love. Leander''s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life, and drew the goddess Barrica back from her exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander''s imbued with her deadly magic, and only Selly''s presence can stop it from consuming him. But Barrica wasn''t the only immortal roused from sleep. The God of Risk, Macean, was awakened by an enemy all thought dead, and across the sea he''s calling for war. The fight to save their world will take Selly and Leander from the gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn, and bonds will break. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?

AWARDS Shortlisted - 2021 Sara Douglass Book Series Award PRAISE FOR SCORCH DRAGONS: ''I found a satisfying fantasy world like none I have read before - one in which dragons and wolves take human form and have magical powers. One of the strengths of this book is the exploration of the idea that truth is a matter of perspective - that there are two (or more) sides to every story. There is no clear enemy, the conflict arises from the tension between the dragons and the wolves, and the reader can empathise with both sides, even though many of the adults in the story cannot ... This is a great book for middle-grade readers 8-12.'' - Reading Time PRAISE FOR ICE WOLVES: ''An engaging world and cliffhanger ending leave readers wanting more'' -- Kirkus, starred review ''Engaging to the end'' -- Books+Publishing ''you''ll wind up on the edge of your seat, unable to put it down'' -- New York Times bestseller Meagan Spooner ''A thrilling, nonstop adventure'' -- New York Times bestseller Shannon Messenger
