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.
