Book Description:
From bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis comes the second book in the thrilling A Dance of Dragons series--perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Graceling, and Game of Thrones!
Drenched in darkness and surrounded by the echo of screams, Jinji waits deep in the dungeons of Rayfort, haunted by the memory of the knife stabbing Rhen, plagued by a foreign voice whispering through her mind. A few floors above, Rhen rests trapped in a coma, about to wake to a changed world—a world where his best friend is a woman, his nephew is the king, and an enemy army surrounds him on all sides. But human wars are insignificant compared to the darkness gathering unseen. Memories of lives she never lived flash through Jinji's thoughts, hinting at a past that cannot be repeated. A mysterious phantom visits Rhen, carrying cryptic messages of the future. And somewhere out there, the shadow continues to lurk in silence. Uncertain of their relationship and tempted by new feelings, Rhen and Jinji must find a way to work together. The fate of humanity rests on their shoulders and the real battle has only just begun…
"The Spirit
Heir" by Kaitlyn Davis pretty much picks up where the last book left off.
Rhen and Jinji are back in Rhen's kingdom and they are dealing with the
reproductions of what happened when the shadow came to court and a war was
started in Rayfort.
One thing that I had
trouble with with "The Shadow Soul", the first book in Davis's "A
Dance of Dragons" series, was that it was a bit hard for me to get into
the story at first. There was a lot of world building (which is always a necessary evil) and getting to know the
characters, but that didn't happen with "The Spirit Heir". Maybe it's
because I was already familiar with the characters after reading the first book
and I was just genuinely interested in what they would do next, but I was
engrossed in the story from the beginning.
