| Cursebreakers Book 2 |
In the sequel to New York Times bestselling A Curse So Dark and Lonely, Brigid Kemmerer returns to the world of Emberfall in a lush fantasy where friends become foes and love blooms in the darkest of places.
Find the heir, win the crown.
The curse is finally broken, but Prince Rhen of Emberfall faces darker troubles still. Rumors circulate that he is not the true heir and that forbidden magic has been unleashed in Emberfall. Although Rhen has Harper by his side, his guardsman Grey is missing, leaving more questions than answers.
Win the crown, save the kingdom.
Rumored to be the heir, Grey has been on the run since he destroyed Lilith. He has no desire to challenge Rhen--until Karis Luran once again threatens to take Emberfall by force. Her own daughter Lia Mara sees the flaws in her mother’s violent plan, but can she convince Grey to stand against Rhen, even for the good of Emberfall?
The heart-pounding, compulsively readable saga continues as loyalties are tested and new love blooms in a kingdom on the brink of war.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
So thankful I was able to get my hands on an ARC of this book, because the thought of waiting until January would have been torture! This follow up to A Curse So Dark and Lonely was fantastic. With the cliffhanger from the previous book I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. This book follows Grey and the aftermath of learning who his father was. We watch him struggle with keeping the secret of who he is from Rhen and he goes as far as to hide from Rhen and Harper. But he can't hide forever. He is found and brought back to Ironcastle. He thinks he is protecting Rhen but Rhen is still suffering from the aftermath of Lilith. So the thought of someone out there with magic and the rightful heir, it leaves him making decisions that will tear his friendship with Rhen. Grey's journey isn't easy. He has to figure out who he is now that he is not the Commander and an enemy of sorts to Rhen. Our heroine in this story is Lia Mara. Her only goal is peace between her people of Syhl Shallow and Emberfall. But with her cruel mother as queen and a younger sister who has been selected as heir, peace is harder to achieve. Lia Mara is punished for being merciful, she does not wish for violence and that is exactly how the current queen of Syhl Shallow works. But Lia Mara is stronger than she believes. Her love for her people and the persistence of finding peace is what makes her strong. When Grey and Lia Mara are thrown together in their journeys, they will both find the strength to learn who they are and decide for themselves. Their story is great and the book in general was such a satisfying sequel. The ending once again left us in a cliffhanger and how this series will conclude will be one crazy ride!
I received an ARC.
