Saving the world may have doomed them all.Keplan reels in the wake of grief and guilt at the blood on his hands. Outside the city walls, however, winter grows fiercer and droughts longer. Alea reforged the fractured world twenty years before--so why is it withering before his eyes? Then, just as he masters being a monarch, a prophet arrives spouting scripture about a One True God. Keplan's own mother killed the last gods, yet this one matches his description perfectly--and its wrath is about to fall upon Athrolan.Isolated within the same cold, marble walls as Athrolan's murderous king, Rih struggles to plot her rebellion leagues away from everything she has ever known. With an unexpected ally, she may have finally found a way to the Mirikin Hetmir--until tragedy strikes. With religious fanatics at their walls, blight in their fields, and a king floundering from addiction, Athrolan spirals out of control. Now Rih must choose between a mad king's life and her own revolution.
"I did not appreciate peace until I was rotting in a Banis prison cell. Now I just want to stifle the person crouched in my head. I left looking for wisdom. Instead, I went mad."No one was prepared for the chaos mending the world unleashed. With Alea and Arman gone and the queen dead, Athrolan faces civil war. The kingdom fractures between two heirs-the disinherited and senile Daymir Blackhouse, and the Dhoah' Laen's rumored child. Except Alea's mad son is unaware of the power in his veins. Imprisoned in Ban, which teeters on the edge of its own war, his fragile mind may not survive the week, let alone a battle for the crown. The soldier who found him, however, sees more than an enemy in Athrolan, and uses her inability to speak to burgeon her growing rebellion.Whoever runs from the crown faster-and survives their bloodline's curse-will determine the Athrolani heir

If he has any hope of redemption-or surviving the war-he must choose between his newfound family and the gods he worships.As Arman and Brentemir's sacrifices grow, Alea realizes that only the darkness inside her can end the bloodshed.¿Smoke and Rain won New Apple Literary's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award in 2015, a Literary Titan Gold in 2020 and became an international bestselling fantasy in 2019
How can they win a war when their greatest enemies are themselves?"Death hurt less than I thought. I wish I could bring that peace back with me. War doesn't scare me now, or this strange city, or life at home continuing without me. When she brought me back from that beautiful peace, my humanity stayed behind.I'm the only thing that terrifies me, now."Blood stains the land. With the gods' desperation, Azirik's mania grows. Away from her newfound family, Alea struggles to control the horrors in her mind and the power in her veins. What she must learn, however, is very different from the lessons the Laen wish to teach. Stuck waiting in a foreign city, Arman wrestles with new, fathomless fury. Coupled with the inertia of battle, his rage shatters friendships and taints alliances. Lives depend on what they learn, but war does not make time for history lessons.Sequel to the award-winning first book, Smoke and Rain .
