Still reeling from his family's lies, Zahir travels across the world to master his magic. With the threat of death looming over him, he must adapt to a life so unlike his own and work harder than he knew possible, all while reconciling with who he really is.
Back home, Mari assumes her role as Queen of a clan she knows little about. Struggling with ineffective advisors, a devious sister, and complicated alliances, Mari must prove to herself, and her people, that she is worthy of her title.
Suddenly, Mari is forced to shift her priorities as she discovers a wicked threat that could endanger thousands of lives. Mari has no choice but to put her life on the line to defend her home and those she loves. With news of this threat, Zahir has a choice to make - stay and master his magic or return home, ready to die.
In the thrilling sequel to Death by Fire, all hope is lost. No one is safe. And time is running out.
