A Promise of Peridot

Arwen Valondale is at sea, bound for the Kingdom of Citrine in the wake of the battle of Siren's Bay. Her mother is dead, her newly discovered powers are still strange to her, and her anger has one target: King Kane Ravenwood, the man who betrayed her.

Avoiding him is not possible. Kane leads Arwen and her friends on an expedition to find the Blade of the Sun, a legendary weapon able to kill the tyrant Fae King Lazarus. Arwen and Kane keep an uneasy truce, though she is fighting feelings she has not settled, and he is prepared to turn himself into darkness if that is what it takes to keep her safe.

A prophecy hangs over the quest. If Arwen fails to fulfil it, her own fate is sealed, along with the fates of the people she loves most. Along the way she meets creatures, enemies and forms of magic beyond anything she had pictured, and each one tests her resolve.

This is a fantasy romance and the second book in the Sacred Stones trilogy. Expect an action-driven quest with a strained, unresolved bond between the leads at its center.
