About this book
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER! • A young woman who wields the unimaginable power of a dragon spirit must decide where her loyalties lie—and where her heart belongs—in this enthralling fantasy that reimagines the legend of Mulan. The explosive sequel to The Night Ends with Fire! This hardcover edition includes a gorgeous, shimmering jacket with effects and brilliantly illustrated endpapers. The war may be over, but Hai Meilin is still paying a heavy toll. In spite of securing victory for the kingdom of Anlai, she is imprisoned upon her return. Her crime? Wielding a sword as a woman. In the palace, Meilin is an outcast and a social pariah. But beyond the imperial walls, the legend of the woman warrior has taken on a life of its own. To the east, a new rebel leader needs Meilin to helm his people’s revolution. In the south, a former enemy prince, now a prisoner of war, seeks Meilin’s aid in restoring balance to the Three Kingdoms. And back home in Anlai, Liu Sky, Meilin’s commander and first love, requires Meilin by his side in his bid for the throne. Pulled in all directions by those who seek to use her for their own ends, Meilin vows that this time, she will not be so quick to trust. Yet there is one she cannot help but listen to—for he dwells within her. Beyond any human machinations, the sea dragon Qinglong has his own plans for the spirit realm. During the last war, Meilin wielded his power to cheat death and attain victory for Anlai; now the dragon has come to collect his dues. Meilin’s mother warned her long ago: The spirits demand blood. And Qinglong is ravenous.

What readers are saying
Nicole SchneiderPowerful Continuation
"Excellent continuation of The Night Ends with Fire. K.X. Song does not disappoint in her sequel. I read both books in this duology in a day and half because I couldn't put them down. Very pleased with the ending. ["

Sarah BELoved this Book
"Although I enjoyed the first book more for various reasons, this book was good. The story really pulled me in, you get a lot of new characters and learn more about the politics of this world. You also get to see our FMC deal with addiction and oppression (I am always 100% down with a "down with the patriarchy" type of story), which ends up being a lot - which made the story that much more interesting to read. I'm really enjoying this series overall and can't wait to read more from this author. ["
