A Court of Ashes #2
A Traitor's Trial
You cannot leave the Isle. You cannot leave this city. The moment you leave Paralía there is no coming back the same, if you come back at all…
Ira Eriman, wanted thief, conspirator, and traitor to the crown, has returned to the Isle of Choranth. But she has not come back unchanged and Aden Ironwhal is at a loss as to how to bring her back. With all the eyes of his family now on her, Aden is forced to make more than a few hasty decisions in order to protect her life and their future together. However, with the threat posed by Prince Callum and with the suspicious activities of his least favorite uncle looming over them, Aden must put his duty first to ensure the stability and safety of his kingdom. When Ira proposes going in search of the infamous and legendary Prince of the Fae, Aden must split the forces of their family for the first time in decades, sending his brother and father to confront the king of the south and leaving his sisters to defend their home. Faced with the perilous outside world, Aden realizes quickly that the only way to survive the forces against them is work together, even if that means listening to the advice of a brooding Fae and giving in to the temperamental teachings of his brother. Because the gods' hourglass is running out of sand and fate is coming from them whether they are ready or not, and no one is ready for what awaits them at the end of their journey.
In this sequel to A Thief's Bargain, the Court of Ashes saga continues on a journey fraught with mistrust, harrowing adventures, and deadly consequences as Ira and the Ironwhals rediscover the the lines they are ready to cross and the deeds they are unwilling to forgive.

The second book of this fantasy series is so good! I enjoyed Ira’s journey to finding her new self and Aden trying to cope and figure out how to love the new Ira. So many twists and turns at the end of this book makes me wanting book 3 asap!

The second one is even better!
Wow! I loved this book from the very beginning all the way to the end. It jumped right in where it left off and it stayed fast paced and moving through. There were two major twists for me. The first twist caught me completely by surprise and the second one had me gasping out loud as I read. I cannot wait for the third book to see where the story goes!

What a ride! The continuation of Ira’s story it’s so good. Loved the usual characters and started to like ones I didn’t in the first book. And then there’s the cliffhanger—what an absolutely brutal way to end a book! Just as the tension reached its peak, the story pulled the rug out from under me, leaving me staring at the final page in shock. This series is truly a hidden gem, and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. It deserves way more recognition because the storytelling, world-building are amazing! Can’t wait to read the third!!!
