Mild harm to animals and some sexual content Framed for a crime she did not commit, Nadhya is thrown into prison with Jaythan, where a curious contact reveals the inner workings of the Daezh and Allov’s elders. Through mysterious ties and a startling revelation, Nadhya’s brief incarceration offers a fleeting reprieve before the water mage is thrust into a harrowing series of events.
All plans to vanquish the Daezh and free her lover are strained as Cordelia implies strict limitations to her daughter’s movements. Nadhya is forced to become craftier about reuniting with her friends and driving their mission forward. Opportunity leads her to strike a deal with the enemy—a catalyst that leads to one world-shattering truth after another, as the veil is snatched over her reality. Harbouring her own secrets weighs her friendships and jeopardises her role within the team.
With her world rapidly unravelling and everyone in her life under scrutiny, does Nadhya still have it in her to fight the Daezh? Will she and Jaythan explore the burning passion between them, or will it be extinguished by the cold hand of truth?
Join Nadhya as she encounters new allies, cruel twists of fate, battles formidable foes, and uncovers pivotal truths in this colourful, epic, high-energy, and captivating tale.
Huge thank you to the author for sending me an ARC of this incredible sequel!
WOW. The world Avril N. Sun has created continues to amaze me. Prevail the Tide has everything you want in a fantasy: mystery, love, nonstop thrills and CRAZY twists. It picks up right where Book 1 left off, and from the very first page, it’s full steam ahead.
This installment is even more fast-paced than the first, and I was hooked the entire time. We get deeper insight into the characters we already love, especially Nadhya, and learn more about their histories and motivations. There are new characters introduced, and the expanded worldbuilding adds so much richness to the story.
While we finally get answers to some of the burning questions from Book 1, Avril leaves us with even more questions by the end—which only makes me that much more excited for Book 3!
If you’re a fantasy lover, this series deserves a spot on your shelf.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️ This is becoming one of my favorite worlds to escape into!! If you haven’t picked up this series yet do it you won’t regret it! More of the characters you fell in love with from the first but this time your perspective will change. We continue Nadhyas story in Allov with the friends she has met but uncover more secrets that will have you questioning everything!! Kellan is becoming my favorite character(I’m a sucker for the morally grey) Nadhya starts to see him as someone she can trust and not as the awful thing she believed him to be. More secrets unfold and everything she held as truth is slowly slipping away even her past that seems to have some gaps… With the people she is closest to keeping some of the biggest secrets of all she has to navigate through everything she once thought she knew. With an ending that has me not only wanting but NEEDING more! I can’t say enough good things about this book I adore this story and the characters that have come to life in these pages!!
Calling all fantasy fans, this one's for you!! I loved the world building and character depth of the first novel Brace the Tide, but it only gets better in this second book of the series. We learn even more background about Nadhya and her family, as well as many of the other characters. Secrets regarding the Daezh are revealed and OMG there are some shockers!
Nadhya is a fantastic lead protagonist. She is lovable, but also has flaws which make her even easier to cheer for. It's nice when then main character isn't 'perfect'. After the way book one ended, Nadhya's mother is even more on her case. Watching her more closely and insisting she spend more time in the family run shop. Oh boy do we ever see her frosty side come out!
I don't want to spoil anything, but there are some major revelations in this one as the story really comes together and we the reader start to see a fuller picture of what is really happening in Allov.
I so highly recommend this series! The world building and character depth are truly fantastic! I simply cannot wait until the next book is ready!
I love that Nadhya's character is consistent, even though she pissed me off alot in this one lol.
The revelations and the plot twist(I knew it).
I liked that all of them has something deeper going on. They feel real, not as just book characters but as people. They all have their own story and their own lives.
This sequel picks up right where the first book left off and managed to surpass its predecessor. I truly enjoyed it! Nadhya's character development was exceptional, and Wade's story absolutely broke me. I kept thinking that if she had just communicated with her mom from the beginning, they might have found a way to work things out—but after that ending, I don’t know what to believe anymore. I'm completely hooked and can't wait to see what happens next!
Oh my my ✨ What an adventure ✨ i really enjoyed this book 😍 This book is fantastically mysterious and very unique in its world building ✨ with amazing characters 💞

Thank you Avril for this splendid arc! I am honoured and so grateful to have had the opportunity to read book two and review it with honest, unapologetic feelings!
I'm absolutely reeling! I didn't think it was possible for Prevail the Tide to fill my heart as much as book one, Brace the Tide, did... but wow! Was I ever wrong!
Be prepared to hit the halfway point and not be able to put this treasure down until you finish it – and then mourn that there are no more pages left to read, then plead the universe that Avril will release book three ASAP so you can get your eager fingers upon it and find out what she has in store for you next – I’m scared, I’m delighted, I’m on the edge of my seat – I cannot wait!
Prevail the Tide opens right where Brace the Tide ended – phew, small mercies. From reading the blurb you’ll already know a few valuable tidbits. Ma becomes even more strict, causing Nadhya’s life to feel unbearably out of her control; trying to innocently see friends turns into an almost impossible task, let alone the truly important things that she must masterfully figure out how to accomplish. We get to know Ma and Nadhya’s family even better in Prevail the Tide and it is glorious! More back story, more history, more details on Nadhya’s earlier life. Trust me when I say that you will gobble it up and yearn for more.
Secrets begin to unravel, flipping Nadhya’s world completely upside down – and oh my gosh do I ever feel for our heroine! Just when I thought things couldn’t get heavier for our favourite feisty female lead… Well, I’ll let you find out when you read it.
Book two gives us more of a feel for the Redemption world – it’s rich, filled with colour, texture and vibes that you can truly feel. Mystery vailed in strange happenings and bold secrets, or lies? So much mystery to uncover. Who’s involved with what? Which person closest to Nadhya can she trust? Is there anyone?! And now she has more secrets to shield her friends from? Can her brave heart handle the magnitude of what is falling into place?
Jaythan and his swoon worthy body and equally swoon worthy smile, and skills will continue to captivate your heart and soul, as well as his and Nadhya’s team of friends – somehow even the envious ones will find a soft place in your heart.
We get to see more magic and it is so incredibly fabulous. Lore, terror, excitement… the dark secrets. Characters and deepened connections – everything including just a bit of spice. The developments, twists and turns are exceptionally well done. This is, once again, a visual masterpiece that plays out in my head like a movie on the big screen.
If you haven’t read Brace the Tide yet, do it, and grab Prevail the tide too so you can just keep reading! You’ll be thrust even deeper into a world ripe with stunning scenery – spells, magic, battles and intrigue. Splendid diverse characters, complex emotions and dynamics. Spine prickling, mind whirling twists will have you stunned, gasping for breath and begging Avril to release book three yesterday and end your suffering.
Prevail the Tide has a few possible triggers: Mild harm to animals, mild sexual content. Moderate gore and violence.
I can’t wait to have this beauty nestled next to book one on my shelf when the paperback is available. Jump into the Redemption series – it is divine!
I started my review for Avril's first book in her Redemption series, Brace The Tide, with one word: wow. Simple as that. Would the same word apply to its sequel, Prevail The Tide? Well, I don't know. Is there a word more powerful than "wow"? I am sure there is. I am unsure if I will find the right words to describe Avril's high fantasy series and its utter perfection and greatness.
If you, like me, are a fan of true high fantasy filled with intricate world-building, rich lore & history, masterfully crafted characters with so many layers to them, plots full of mysteries & secrets to uncover, packed with action without losing their touch with deep & raw feelings, then The Redemption series is the one for you.
This series has it all and more. It will take you on a wild journey; it will make you want to uncover each and every secret (Avril can testify to the utterly insane amount of messages I've sent to her filled with my unhinged theories); it will glue you to your seat and make you forget that sleep is essential; it will make you gasp, cry, laugh; it will make you ooze with anxiety waiting to see what will happen next.
Prevail The Tide continues right where Brace The Tide left us, after the cliffhanger with Nadhya and Jay that left me breathless. Oh, Jay, you make my heart sing. You also provoke other emotions, but I will leave you to discover it all yourself. But, a unique opportunity will present itself while Nadhya remains in prison, and she will grab it. The sequel will offer some revelations while still keeping us on our toes with mysteries surrounding Nadhya's history, memories, and everything else. It will make us question the intentions of everyone involved, including the villains. What is there behind it all? Oh, I have my theories, but I will have to wait a bit longer to see if I was right.
Prevail The Tide is a sequel offering so much and still leaving us craving for more. I am dying to get my hands on Book 3 and dive back into this magical, intriguing world Avril has created. Come along with me and enjoy the ride!
Prevail the tide is the second book in redemption series and picks up straight from the cliff hanger of brace the tide. Nadhya and her friends are in for a bigger mystery and adventure as the story moves forward. More new characters, shocking revelations ,twists and a lot more action . Past , present and future, all three are at stake as Nadhya uncovers things that were better left hidden for her sanity. Her fire and hate against daez still burns bright or does it now? What if There is more to what is on the surface?
📚My thoughts 📚
I'll be totally honest , I love this book more than the first one 😍 it has everything!
The way Avril has created the world, it feels more alive and bigger in this one , not to mention the plot! The plot twists that kept hitting me in the face back to back , the story was captivating and kept me hooked !
Nadhya's character development is smooth in this one , I found her more to my liking, she's stronger and more aware here imo. There are some new characters that add more spice and twist to the story , keeping it more interesting. I loved kellen , I don't know if I should or not though😂 I absolutely adored the friendship and romantic moments here and there , our ship - Jay and Naddy is stronger in this one and there are some much needed moments 😉 but it's still a slow burn ofcourse, albeit a yearning kind.
The last few chapters were so much more than I expected, each chapter kept hitting me in the face 😅 nonetheless I enjoyed it ❤️ I loved the action and magic in this one , more mystery , more fun 😌
I don't want to spoil but the book ends at a cliffhanger which is not that bad but urges me to grab the next book quickly because I want to know what happened next! Aaah , in short it's a 5 star read , I am not a big fantasy love but I enjoyed 😌❤️.
If I thought Book 1 brought all the feels, I didn't know what was coming my way.
Who can you trust when everyone is keeping secrets?
Prevail the Tide starts right where Brace the Tide left us, with Nadhya being taken away and her mother...well, I don't even know where to start with her. Throughout Book 2, Nadhya works to discover the truth behind, well, everything. The more she learns, the less she realizes she truly knows about herself, her family, the Daezh, and the amulet her grandmother gave her for protection against them. Not everyone or everything is as it seems, Nadhya!
Avril is great at characterization and we see this again with Prevail the Tide, as we learn more about her friends and family, as well as some new acquaintances, with Wade's story in particular pulling at the heartstrings. Her descriptions of the market and all the creatures was so magical! Also, I need a crystal ring that will allow me to speak with my plans STAT! I liked the little tie-ins to Book 1, like Nadhya meeting the boy who hit her with the Sora ball.
If you haven't yet, order your copy of Brace the Tide on Amazon's, then add Prevail the Tide to your cart and prepare for quite the adventure. And keep an eye out for Book 3: Break the Tide, coming out next!
You know what you need? To read this book right now. They say “Never judge a book by its cover” but the cover is BEAUTIFUL and the story is even better! This book is PACKED with action and twist and turns! Avril was meant to be an author, every thing she writes is a hit. You can’t help but root for Naddy in every challenge she takes on. Kellan grew to be one of my new favorite character but obviously, no one can top Wade in my book. If you haven’t started reading these books, read it for Wade. Wade, in my humble opinion, is the real main character. I mean, mans is a baddie that cares for his friends. I can’t say enough good things about Wade. Read the book friends. You won’t regret it!
This book is amazing! It's a high fantasy with everything I like: expertly crafted worldbuilding, magic wielders, secrets (A LOT of them!), demons and angels. The plot is packed with action, and the FMC is one of the strongest FMCs I've had the pleasure to meet. This second book in the series also has a little spice. I just can't wait for book 3 to be released!
ARC. Really loving the series and for once not rolling my eyes at the FMC, a great job making a hero. a Superb work in the world building. I recommend this much. I even felt some love for whom i was pissed lol. And the villains, gosh they are an excellent work. Give this one a chance!.
Jaytham? Cutie Pie Wade? Annoying big brother Kellan? Shadow daddy Takoda? My king
Loved this book just as good as the first! The mystery, the questions, the suspense and those plot twists! Brilliant from start to finish. Can't wait for book 3
