Haunted by her mother’s legacy, desperate to save the people she cares about, Eliana will have to embrace her strengths and her weaknesses to become the queen Avitas needs. Unsure how to channel or control the Empirium, pressure is mounting for Eliana to demonstrate her strength and fulfill the prophecy saving humanity from the oppressive angels. Rielle chose to tie herself to Audric and Celdaria but she is no longer sure love is enough to determine her path.Ĭenturies later, Eliana Ferracora has been named Sun Queen but lacks the power to back up her new title. Hemmed in by her responsibilities and authority figures who fear her, Rielle finds she is not immune to the angel Corien’s alluring talk of freedom and unbound power. But even her powers are limited and time is short to allow her to collect the castings of the saints to help focus her efforts. Instead, with the Gate meant to keep angels out of Avitas failing, Rielle has to use her new command of the Empirium to repair it. Rielle Dardenne thought being anointed Sun Queen would be the end of her problems and the start of a bright future. To avoid spoilers and confusion, start at the beginning with Furyborn (and check out my review here).* * Kingsbane is the second book in Legrand’s Empirium trilogy and picks up shortly after the events of the first book. ![]()
