"Everything has a price. In the kingdom of Axaria, a darkness has fallen. After defeating the evil mother who summoned an immortal demon to kill her, newly coronated Queen Asterin Faelenhart should have every reason to celebrate. Her kingdom is safe, forbidden magic eradicated, and her friends are alive. Except Asterin's triumph has come at a devastating cost -- forced to choose between a lifelong friend and true love, she's lost both. But the shadows in Axaria have begun to stir once again, and no one is more starved for vengeance than Asterin... Yet it soon becomes clear that the shadows plaguing her kingdom are just the beginning. Another realm coexists with the mortal world -- the beautiful, nightmarish Immortal Realm rul...ed by the wicked God of Shadow, King Eoin. When their paths entwine, Asterin realizes that Eoin possesses exactly what -- and who -- she seeks most. And the fates of all those that she holds dear -- Orion, her missing Guardian; Luna, the friend she could not save; Harry, the demon who saved them all; and Quinlan, her beloved broken prince -- ultimately rest in the god's hands. But in a world of magic, not everyone is always as they seem. When shocking discoveries threaten everything and everyone that Asterin has sworn her life to protect, she won't be the only person forced to make a choice... a choice that will change the mortal world forever. And maybe even destroy it" --Amazon.

Review by Kirkus Book Review

Following her ascension, Queen Asterin Faelenhart of Axaria faces consequences from a previous battle. The sequel to Shadow Frost (2019) picks up with Asterin and her companions having parted ways following their defeat of Axaria's false ruler during Fairfest Eve. Queen Rose Saville and a comatose Prince Quinlan return to Eradore while Asterin's best friend, Luna, journeys to Ibreseos where she begins training in illusion magic and connects with her newly revealed father, King Jakob. In the Immortal Realm, shadowling Harry secures a reprieve from duty from Eoin, the Ruler of Darkness, in order to search for Asterin's Royal Guardian Orion, who leapt into a portal during the Fairfest battle. Little does he know that Orion is a guest at Eoin's Shadow Palace, with no memory of his life before. When news of Quinlan's recovery reaches Asterin, she wastes no time before setting out toward Eradore with Capt. Eadric Covington and three members of her Elites, but a deadly ambush throws her plan into disarray. Ma successfully uses the book's multiple storylines to maintain a steady pace throughout, with intriguing developments and new revelations to drive the plot forward. Several characters are queer; most seem to be White, and race is not significant in this world. There are multiple references to a ship whose name includes a slur for Roma people. A stronger book than its precursor. (map, guide to fantasy world) (Fantasy. 14-18) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
