About this ebook

“In this bleak world, one spark of hope soon turns into an inferno. And just like a fireball, once this story is ignited, it just doesn’t stop.” — Maria V. Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of Navigating the Stars

From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin comes the second book in the complete Aunare Chronicles.

I thought escaping Earth, Abaddon, and SpaceTech would mean I was safe, but I’m not. The Aunare don’t want me here, mostly because if I’m here that means my betrothal to the heir to the Aunare High Throne is back on. I would call it off, but I can’t seem to make myself say the words because Lorne is the heir, and he’s the one holding me together.

Every time I wake up screaming, Lorne is there. I don’t understand how he knows when I need him, but he does, and even if I can’t say the words aloud, I’m so thankful that he’s there. Because I couldn’t survive this without him.

Everything in me is drawn to Lorne, the man that haunted my dreams, the man that lures me in with his every look. Lorne makes me forget that the Aunare hate me enough to send assassins to kill me.

Lorne wants me to say yes to marrying him, but saying yes means that I will eventually become the High Queen of the Aunare, and I’m not sure I can do that job. I’m not sure I should. Because the Aunare hate me for being a half-Earther, and I’m one more assassination attempt away from being dead.

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Aunare Chronicles is an adult fantasy romance series that takes you from a future Earth to an all new world across the galaxy. With found family, fated mates, and a race of people with magical powers, the Aunare Chronicles will sweep you across the stars in this romantic futuristic fantasy saga.

Ratings and reviews

What a great book. Very easy to read. The story is very strong too. I have pre-ordered the next one. I struggled at the beginning. I couldn't understand who was speaking at first. I had to write everyone's name down on a piece of paper with names of people and places until everything stuck. I had problems visualizing the pole with the hoops on at the games. I read it a few times to try and picture it but had to give it up and move on. It was worth staying with this book because it was the best book I've read in many months. Congratulations to the author and especially to you proof reader she did a great job.

Better than Book 1! I couldnt put it down. Just had to keep reading to see what was coming up next. Nice mix of action, romance and self examination etc. I can really relate to the characters and it just pulls you in. So looking fwd to the next one.

amazing as usual i always get lost reading your books. So thank you so much for creating such amazing people and places.
