Perfect for you if...

  • You love epic fantasy with complex characters who actually argue and disagree rather than instantly bonding.
  • You're after richly imagined worlds where the magic system feels lived-in and the stakes keep escalating across books.
  • You want stories centred on diverse, capable women doing the work of salvation without romance overshadowing the plot.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need self-contained stories: this is book two of a trilogy and doesn't work as a standalone.
  • You prefer tight, fast-paced narratives. At 624 pages, this one takes its time world-building and exploring character relationships.
  • You're looking for high fantasy without moral ambiguity. These characters make difficult choices with real consequences.

About this book

The second book in the Winnowing Flame trilogy, this novel follows Tormalin the Oathless and the fell-witch Noon as they work to rally the first war-beasts born in Ebora in three centuries. These newly hatched creatures lack memories of their past incarnations and struggle to cooperate, even as an ancient enemy grows stronger. Scholar Vintage believes the key to uniting them lies on a distant island mysteriously connected to two legendary Eborans who vanished long ago. Pursuing this lead requires a perilous journey during wartime, while new dangers threaten those who remain behind. The Jure'lia have awakened following the events of The Ninth Rain, and the world of Sarn faces an ancient evil unlike anything it has encountered before. The heroes must confront this threat while uncovering secrets about their world and its past.
