Chosen Son: Fallen City Book 2

Description:

The epic conclusion to Adrienne Young's devastating and enthralling Fallen City duology! A gorgeous deluxe edition with stunning printed edges.

Love will be their salvation or ultimate ruin.

When the city fell, Maris lost everything--her freedom, her future, and the man she loved. Now, with Luca trapped behind the gates of Isara, she makes a choice that will change her life forever: to don the armor of the enemy and march back into the heart of the city she was forced to flee. Every step brings her closer to Luca, but also deeper into the blood-soaked machine of war.

Inside Isara's walls, Luca wrestles with a truth more dangerous than any sword. Once the symbol of the Loyal Legion, he has lost the thing he was truly fighting for--Maris. The shift of the war has left him to question whether he has become a pawn of the gods, and with betrayal lurking in every shadow, Luca must decide who he is: the dutiful soldier forged by rebellion, or the man willing to risk everything for love.

Across battlefields and through broken temples, Maris and Luca's treacherous paths through Isara are set to collide. And when the gods demand sacrifice, it comes in a form no one could have expected.
