Blade Breaker

Description:

"A true fantasy masterpiece." --Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author

In the highly anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller Realm Breaker, the Companions must find a way to outmatch an enemy who always seems one step ahead--even while reckoning with a devastating loss of their own.

The fate of the world rests on a blade's edge.

In a brutal rise to power, Queen Erida and King Taristan continue their march through Allward, conquering kingdoms and leaving destruction in their wake.

Even though Corayne has begun to grasp the magic in her blood, closing one spindle and staving off darkness for another day, the fight is far from over, and the cost has been dear. Exhausted and unsure of their next move, Corayne and her Companions are at a crossroads.

Will they be strong enough to weather the coming storm? Or will it consume them?
