Lord of Embers

C.N. Crawford

Book 2 of The Demon Queen Trials

In this romantasy sequel, mortal-turned-Lightbringer Rowan Morgenstern finds herself locked in a tense rivalry with Orion, the seductive Lord of Chaos, as both vie to rule the demon realm. Old wounds and a prior betrayal complicate their uneasy alliance, even as the pull between them grows impossible to ignore. Much of the book is driven by banter, political maneuvering, and the push-and-pull of two strong-willed rivals forced to work toward the same crown. It picks up directly after the events of the first book and sets the stage for the trilogy's finale.
