The Echo of His Fury
In a shattered realm, rebellion blazes.
Irkalla is in the midst of a civil war, and Erisa is torn between her loyalty to all she once cared about, and to the man she had, until recently, known as her enemy. Encompassed by the crippling betrayals and escalating tensions throughout the realm, Erisa’s instincts drive her into making decisions she never thought she’d face.
With the stakes climbing ever higher, and ancient lies beginning to unravel, knowing who to trust means the difference between life and death. Erisa and Theo must confront their past conflicts if they stand a chance at saving everything they hold dear. As their growing, buried feelings collide, they ignite a dangerous path towards vengeance.
But the cost of revenge may be greater than either one is willing to pay.
Contains mature themes, suitable for ages 18 and over.

After DEVOURING the place of her name I was so excited to be selected for the ARC team for book 2! And what can I say other than this book FLOORED ME. the maelstrom of emotions through this book perfectly continues from book 1. The growth of the characters was incredible, the twists and turns were well written and beautifully formed! And DRAGONS! who doesn’t want dragons?!?!
It’s refreshing to see a strong and capable FMC opposing a softer and more balanced MMC like Theo.
I will be re reading both books back to back soon and I can’t wait to see how they flow together properly!

I was kindly sent an ARC copy of this book and The Place of her Name and was gripped from the start!
I loved getting to know Erisa and Theo in book one, and the quest they were on truly became high stakes. Book two was a thrilling adventure!
Theo is such a tonic for me. I loved the fact that as Erisa is such a tough fierce FMC that he carries the softness. He had a really traumatic arc during this book and I really felt like I was on it with him.
Erisa's character stayed true but some of her hardness is starting to shift (well, mainly in Theo's favour) which is really endearing. She has such strength and untapped power and has to navigate through trauma and lies.
My favourite Theo quote is below!
"Her everyday ferocity made such sweet, simple acts all the more enchanting. A rare softness in her world of sharp edges."
I hope for more of their story and feel like there is so much more to this world than meets the eye!

Erisa is an orphan taken in by the Autarch and trained as his assassin. Theo is a lord raising a rebellion. A civil war breaks out and the gods get involved, twisting a tale of war and fate.
Tropes:
⭐️Enemies to lovers
⭐️Fate
⭐️Gods & magic
⭐️Politics & war
⭐️Secret identities
⭐️Morally grey FMC
Thank you to S.C. Makepeace for allowing me to be part of her ARC team. This is a MUST READ. Love, loss, death, betrayal, politics, DRAGONS. Did I mention the dragons? This is a duology that will keep you up all night reading. The characters have so much depth and you are never quite sure of hidden motivations. The love stories -family, friends, & romantic love- are raw and beautiful.

This series has been a wild ride. I love how morally grey Erisa still is even after all of the events of book 1. She has not softened. She does what she needs to do to help those she cares about and really can not be bothered with anyone else.
Erisa and Theo led us on quite the journey. Enemies to lovers to enemies to who even knows what. He has it so bad for her despite everything she has done. She definitely made him darker.
There was a significant plot twist in the story that to me came out of left field, but I really liked it. It made the stakes higher, added more tension and pretty much changed everything. This series is phenomenal.

Thank you so much to SC Makepeace for an early copy of The Echo Of His Fury, was delightful to get back to this world after reading The Place Of Her Name earlier this year.
All opinions are my own.
Spoilers below;
What can I say? SC Makepeace has absolutely hit the ground running after the events of The Place Of Her Name and thrown us straight back into the action of Erisa and Theo and the damage that had been done in the final pages of The Place Of Her Name. The sheer grief that Erisa feels after the loss of Verill is palpable through the page, and I spent the first few chapters sharing in that grief with her. Her anger towards Theo, although somehwhat misplaced made for some delicious tension and really beautiful soul searching on both their parts. Theo is so at odds with the woman in front of him, so desperately angry towards her for murdering his sister but so deeply in love with the courageous, strong woman she is, in spite of all that has happened to her. We see a far deeper look at Theo's friends, who the Autaurch is and how he is recognisable to Theo after all. There is a beautiful side story line of found family with new editions to The Rats AND a rescue mission where SHE saves HIM. (Although, she was the reason he was captured to begin with)
The development of Erisa is breathtaking in this story as we see her as a truly morally grey character, with regrets, and conflict.
We finally got to learn more of the Gods that are alluded to in Book 1, and we finally get to meet these ethereal beings who it seems have been pulling the strings all along. We learn more of The Beldams, and their riddles and how they seem to have taken Erisa and Theo for a ride and thrown them completely down the wrong path. A war of true good and evil ensues, with half the gods fighting for the end of humanity, and half the gods fighting to save the humans and the world.
We have dragons, and mythical creatures (and one that is described as looking exactly like Milotic from Pokemon <3)
I absolutely inhaled this sequel and I feel so satisfied with Eris and Theo's story and how all the threads that have been woven through book 1 have been effortlessly pulled together. I am eagerly awaiting what is next in this world <3

The Echo of His Fury builds on the ambitious foundation of The Place of Her Name, drawing us deeper into a world steeped in Mesopotamian mythology, eerie jungle horrors, and simmering rebellion. The setting continues to be the standout, it is lush, ancient, and crawling with mystery. The introduction of more gods and underworld lore adds richness, though frustratingly, much of it remains untapped until the final stretch.
The magic system still holds so much promise! We have god artefacts, strange powers, the uncanny jungle monsters... but we never quite get the explanations we crave. Why does Erisa have her powers? What happened to the Beldams? How does the Autarch fit into all this mythos? There are tantalizing threads here, but too many are left hanging. It’s not that the worldbuilding is weak. No, it’s that we’re not allowed in enough to understand it.
The romance between Erisa and Theo continues to be a weak point for me. While they clearly have mutual admiration and attraction, the emotional depth just doesn’t land. Their connection feels more assumed than shown.
That said, when the gods finally show up, the book soars. The final battle was epic, dramatic, and exactly the kind of high-stakes, myth-infused moment I wanted more of. If only we’d seen more of them earlier. I do have a sticking point though - waking them up seemed waaaaaayyy too easy.
The epilogue teases future stories set in this world. I'd read them for sure. There’s still so much potential here. I have so many questions left unanswered, and there are so many corners of this haunting, old-world setting left unexplored. I just hope future installments slow down, deepen the lore, and trust us to handle a little more mythic complexity.

Just as the first book ‘The Place of Her Name’ this book lasted but a mere weekend as I could not put it down. Having been left wanting more after the first this book did not disappoint!
True to the first Erisa and Theo’s relationship was nothing short of turbulent having quite literally everything thrown at them had me begging for them to reunite. Which after getting over Erisa’s initial betrayal at Katmu I was delighted by the rescue mission - however I did not get Malah’s secret message in the Pamphlets a clever hidden message from S.C Makepeace which was an extra treat to go back and find!
Things really started to heat up when the gods arrived something I really hadn’t anticipated, the battle scene was epic I only wished there was more of that throughout! Mythical creatures, dragons, gods, spells, the underworld, fights, secret powers unleashed what more could you possible want?
I loved the introduction of the Rat children as this really started to bring out Erisa’s softer side I in particular had a real fondness for Farzin. But all can’t be smooth sailing and I found myself devastated at Nook’s outcome.
I feel like there is so much more to be explored within this world and I still have so many questions. What do we not know about Karasi? How did Erisa get her powers?
A true 5⭐️

🌸e-ARC Review🌸
The Echo of His Fury is a strong and emotional follow-up in the Fires of Irkalla series. Right from the start, it pulled me back into the world I loved in the first book. The story picks up the pace quickly, and there were some twists I truly didn't see coming.
The characters feel even more real this time.
You can tell how much they've grown, especially the main character, who is dealing with a lot of inner struggles and big decisions. There's a good mix of action and quiet emotional moments that hit hard.
I really enjoyed the darker tone and the sense of mystery that carried through the book. At times, the plot felt a little packed, and I had to slow down to keep track of everything, but it didn't take away from the overall experience.
If you liked the first book, you'll probably love this one too. It's full of tension, heart, and surprises-and it sets things up nicely for whatever's coming next.
Thank you, S.C.Makepeace for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of The Echo of His Fury, and after falling hard for our main characters in book one, I couldn’t wait to jump back into their world.
The tension between Theo and Erisa is nothing short of electric; a chaotic, emotional, entrancing roller coaster I never wanted to get off. This sequel goes deeper in every way: the mythology is richer, the stakes are higher, and the emotional weight hits even harder. We’re talking war, dragons, literal gods, and a morally grey FMC who takes no shit. Oh, and the twists? They kept twisting!
This book gave me the same visceral thrill I felt reading Throne of Glass—that rare blend of epic fantasy, heartbreak, and defiant hope. My only wish is that these books were a bit longer, so we could spend more time developing bonds with all of the incredible supporting characters.
Overall, I adored this book (and this series). If you're into fierce heroines, intense slow-burns, and stories that don’t pull their punches, The Fires of Irkalla series should definitely be on your radar.

This was read in a single day. Yes, you heard me correctly.
What an absolutely brilliant continuation after the first book. I am grateful to have had this to read straight after the first one!
We have the introduction of new characters, a lot still left unsaid, and the stakes truly went so high I have questions about how we are supposed to go even higher. So much happened in this book, both in terms of political movements, battles, personal interactions, joy and loss, and frankly a storyline that I think has a *lot* still to be revealed.
I consumed this so quickly because it was truly engaging, and having invested in the characters from the first book, this one feels like a really good and rounded continuation. I cannot wait to read the third installment of this.
I called the first novel dark upper YA, but this one I would sternly put in the adult segment.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, which I leave voluntarily

I received this book as an ARC and LOVED every moment of it!
This was a perfect sequel to The Place of Her Name and I was super excited to continue this story.
What a pair Erisa and Theo are! We got to dive deeper into their relationship after the events of book 1 and I was most certainly here for it.
We got to see more of the dynamic between the friend group and I developed quite the attachment to each of them.
Mild spoiler here but I completely missed the point of the letters Theo got. Loved going back and figuring them out when I was a bit further through the book.
The ending: how ominous! There best be a book 3 after the events of the Epilogue. I need to know what that was alls out.
In summary: I’d say this book is most defiantly worth the read and you won’t be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book and after reading the first book I couldn’t wait to dive back to Irkalla.
There is no doubt that S. C. Makepeace is a talented and gifted writer and I enjoyed this book but I found the build up in the first half of the book to be a little slow and then the ending to be a bit rushed.
Irkalla is surrounded by Tarprusa, Aessurus but seemed surprised when the Autarch recruited them to the war and requesting help from Atturyn seemed a last minute decision.
Erisa finally got her moment with the Autarch and the way this happened, it was so easy and she just walks away, I have to admit to feeling a little let down.
I wanted to see more romance between Theo and Erisa and a bit more spice. They are separated for too long at the beginning of the book.
That being said, it was enjoyable and I would read more of the author’s books.

When i tought that first book was a rollercoaster, i did not know anything! This was so exciting and kept you in his hold till the end!
This has gods and dragons too! I know! How cool is that!
I know i lost faith in erisa few times and may have yelled the book, but so would you! I just lived with the monent!
Theo, my lovely theo, he went thru so much, but he did not give up! Neither did erisa!
This did not have spice but this had war, betrayal, sadness, love, lost, a bit more war and some happy moments too
I really think you should read this!
but if you read the first one then you are gonna read this too!

The Echo of his Fury was a fast paced, action filled fantasy and an amazing continuation of the first book, The Place Of Her Name.
The FMC and the MMC were faced with difficulties and big issues, and I really loved the way they worked through them, even the impossible looking ones.
The actions was superb, with a lot of surprises and with vivid descriptions, and I really hope we can get more books in this amazing world!

Despite the hard time I had getting into book 1, The Place Of Her Name, I DEVOURED this book. There were so many twists and turns that sometimes it was hard to keep up, but in a good way!
I loved the character development in Erisa specifically. She had gone through so much and was betrayed by the person she thought of as a second father. She over came that and in turn helped Theo overcome his new phobia.
The way the epilogue ended showed me that the story is not done for this world and I can't wait for the next series.

After I got completely obsessed with book 1, I finally found the time to read book 2 and oh, it sure did not disappoint! What an absolute whirlwind this was! The twists and turns in the story left me gasping constantly. And I think I can say I have a new favourite FMC because Erisa is everything I adore and hope for when I read fantasy. She's so fierce and so unapologetic and yes, often unhinged and she's amazing. She's now up there among my morally grey fictional queens and in top 5 for sure.
Absolutely admired every part of this story. Most likely a reread soon.

I was an ARC reader for the first book and I RAN to sign up for the second.
I ate this book up I couldn't put it down! The plot twists were so exciting and unexpected and the character development from the first book was amazing I loved seeing Erisa slowly soften to Theo and love him in her own way while still keeping her fierceness. The ending suggests that theres more to the story and I hope there is! Thank you to the author for letting me read this ARC

The echo of his fury is another resounding success for the Author, it’s a gripping tale which is a must read for lovers of fantasy and fantasy/romance.
Building on the strong foundations laid in “A place of her name”, the story continues it’s fascinating twists and turns, cleverly told through the lens of the main protagonists, describing their unconventional love story and the part they play in the upheavals of the fantasy world that they live in.

I was very kindly given an ARC for this book.
Unfortunately, as a beginner of fantasy books, it was quite difficult to keep up with what was going on and all the different names and cities being used so I felt like I was reading words but not making sense.
In saying that, I love the character development that Erisa went through.
P.s. still not over Verrill.

An incredible follow-up to The Place of Her Name that will keep you hooked until the last page. The amount of research that went into writing the characters and building the world they live in is apparent, and it had me delving into the history of ancient Mesopotamian deities because I couldn't get enough. This fantasy quickly earned its place as one of my favorites on my shelf.

(Received as an ARC does not influence my opinion)
OMG I could not put this down. This had me clutching my kindle in both excitement and sadness. No spoilers but this author definitely crushed me but also kinda put me back together again. In this story we get such a badass female main character who kicks ass and takes name (literately). Not to mention a broody yet cinnamon roll for the girl MMC. YUM! There was some complex world building in both the first book and this one but I found myself not dreading that like I normally do because it was so well written. A must read for fantasy lovers!

Amazing!! Getting to continue on with Theo and Elisa’s story was great! Seeing their bond develop and grow. This book was just as good as the first. I was amazingly given this book as an ARC and I couldn’t be more grateful.

The Echo of His Fury, is book two in the Fires of Irkalla series. You’re thrown straight back into the story after book one finished so you don’t miss a thing 🫣 You really get to see Erisa’s character develop. She begins to have some regrets and becomes the perfect morally grey character ❤️🔥
I can’t wait to see if we get anymore books set in this world 📖

I really enjoyed The Place of Her Name and was keen to see how the story progressed and this book did not let me down.
I love the two main characters, Erisa and Theo, they are so wildly different and yet they balance each other out and work together perfectly on the page, I very much enjoyed seeing how their characters grew and developed during this book.
The pacing is so good, the story moves along well and has so many enjoyable elements. Gods, dragons, politics and intrigue and death and love.
The relationships between different characters are beautifully written, whether they be familial, friendships or romantic and I had a number of moments that made me very emotional.
I am so excited to see what else this author writes as I very much enjoyed their debut duology.
