The Archer at Dawn (Tiger at Midnight, #2)

by Swati Teerdhala

Romantic intrigue and electric action fill the gripping sequel to The Tiger at Midnight, a world inspired by ancient Indian history and Hindu mythology. Perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir and Victoria Aveyard.

A stolen throne. A lost princess. A rescue mission to take back what’s theirs.

For Kunal and Esha, finally working together as rebels, the upcoming Sun Mela provides the perfect guise for infiltrating King Vardaan’s vicious court. Kunal returns to his role as dedicated soldier, while Esha uses her new role as adviser to Prince Harun to seek allies for their rebel cause. A radical plan is underfoot to rescue Jansa’s long-lost Princess Reha—the key to the throne.

But amidst the Mela games and glittering festivities, much more dangerous forces lie in wait. With the rebel’s entry into Vardaan’s court, a match has been lit, and long-held secrets will force Kunal and Esha to reconsider their loyalties—to their countries and to each other.

Getting into the palace was the easy task; coming out together will be a battle for their lives. In book two of Swati Teerdhala’s epic fantasy trilogy, a kingdom will fall, a new ruler will rise, and all will burn.

In this amazing second installment the author has set up a master piece of intrigue.

This book picks up at the end of tiger at midnight Esha and Kunal are paired up with the Dharkan rebels and the Crescent Blades. What i love most about these characters is how multi layered they are. Esha wants to final the long lost princess and bring peace to this ancient world but she still holds tightly to her need for revenge. Kulan is coming to grips with his new found royal status but also struggles with his underground rebel status.

A majority of this book centers around the plot to find and rescue the long lost princess. Along with this their also this hot burning passion between Esha and Kulan but she also struggles with her feelings for another along with her burning need for revenge. She calls that into question quite a few times along this journey. Does she let that go and embrace what the team is striving for?

With this being the second book their are quite a few very interesting plot twists that i did not see coming. I was along for the ride hook, line and oh my god you got to be kidding me how can this be. This series is interesting and captivating..
