The epic tale of Corrihn and Jasek continues in Book Two of the Crown of Smoke series. Truth is rising… and the path forward leads through darkness. After fleeing the castle with only scraps of memory and a rebel’s resolve, Corrihn and Jasek are thrust into a wilderness where ancient magic stirs, allies hide in shadow, and the land itself remembers more than it reveals. Guided by her father’s journal, haunting dreams, and a shapeshifter who wears many faces, they search for the last remnants of those who once stood with Edric . But a new spell has been unleashed—one that creeps slowly, silently, unraveling the past thread by thread. Names fade. Faces blur. Even love risks slipping into the void. To survive, Corrihn must confront forgotten truths, awaken powers buried deeper than memory, and walk a path where every choice demands sacrifice. For the darkness no longer hunts their bodies… It hunts their minds. And if they cannot outrun the forgetting, the flame that binds the realms may be lost forever.
