'A fierce and vibrant world, a steamy romance, and page-turning twists' Morgan Rhodes, bestselling author
'Hypnotising!' Benjamin of Tomes

Ice and fire are still at war.

Ruby has defeated the tyrannous Frost King, and Arcus, the exiled warrior who captured her heart, has taken his rightful place as ruler of the Frostblood kingdom.

But Ruby is the only Fireblood in a castle of frost and ice, and the courtiers will not accept her. Even worse, the dark threat released from the Frost King's melted throne is stalking the land, bent on destruction - and as the one who set it free, only Ruby can stop it.

To find the knowledge she needs, she must leave Arcus and journey south to the land of the Firebloods. But the homeland Ruby's never seen is treacherous, and friend and enemy wear the same face.

If she's to save both kingdoms, Ruby must figure out who she can trust - and unleash a fire powerful enough to do battle with darkness . . .

[Cocktails and Books]

Didn't like this one as much as the first book, but I was happy to see Ruby growing. Kai was interesting, but my heart was still with Arcus. Can't wait to see what happens next.

**I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

If you read Frostblood and enjoyed it then you'll love this one just as much. It had the same feel as the first while progressing our story forward and giving our favourite characters a chance to grow.

LIKES
- I loved that we got to meet a ton of new characters in this book! Not that I didn't like the others but I especially loved these new ones.
- Most of this book takes place down south with the firebloods which was awesome. I was glad we got to learn so much about them since the last book was all about the frostbloods.
- I really enjoyed reading about the three trials that Ruby had to take. It let her grow her powers which I was really glad to see.
- I love that this world has it's own set of mythology. I loved that we got to learn a ton more about it in this book!
- Ruby grows up a lot in this book. I especially love how she doesn't do everything Arcus says without question. She makes her own decisions and will do what she wants AND what she thinks will help Arcus. Their romance is one of the cutest things.

DISLIKES
- There's some big news about Ruby that gets revealed and I can't decide if I love it or if it was too typical of a trope. It wasn't bad but I think we'll have to wait to see how it progresses.
- The storyline with the Minax could get a little confusing. I think I like the idea of them but it could have been executed a little better.
