Let his ashes rain down to coat the ruins of his power.
Burn him. Burn everything.
In the month since the Challenge for Kyllan’s Flame changed her entire life, Rae’s drowning in the aftermath. Her stomach roils with guilt for all of the things she’s done, the mistakes she’s made. Her lungs seize up with panic every time she thinks about the betrayal that almost ended her life. Her mind constantly fights against the whisper lingering on the edge of her thoughts, urging her to burn, to destroy.
Now, Rae faces a far bigger threat than anything she battled in the war. Her revenge on Viktyr will have to wait, every day bringing them closer and closer to a battle that will no doubt rip this country apart. But each day also brings her closer to someone else, someone her hatred wouldn’t let her see clearly before.
With far more at stake than ever, each and every one of Rae’s choices will have consequences—some good, some very bad. But, she’s only human…right?

Oh my gosh, if I could rate this book a million/5 stars, I would. Nicole Batey’s storytelling abilities are TOP TIER, I would say on par with Sarah J Maas and Rebecca Yarros. Rae Airynn is an absolute bada** FMC. While she reminds me a lot of Aelin Galathynius, Rae is completely original and in a league of her own. I make those comparisons to give an example of how amazing this book and this series is, but this is a completely original storyline with completely original characters.
I’m freaking obsessed with Damon Sparr and how protective, strong, and cocky he is. He truly is a “will-burn-down-the-entire-world-for-her” MMC. And the banter between him and Rae is top tier banter that has me grinning from ear to ear while reading.
My only complaint? That book 3 isn’t out yet because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!

What a great second book for the Medallion Series!
I am unwell but I enjoyed it and I'm so excited for book 3.
And Daaaamon, I'm just mad this perfect man doesn't exist and has been written by a woman.
