A Frozen Pyre: Villains, Book 2

From New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation Piper CJ comes the second in the prequel duology to The Night and Its Moon. Discover the origins of demons and darkness, unravel Gyrradin's twisted history, meet the mother of monsters, and uncover the politics behind the sprawling, bloody continent in the Villains books. Betrayal carved the path; vengeance will light the way... Manifestation is meant to be the glorious gift of the All Mother, but wherever Princess Ophir goes, chaos and demons follow. After escaping her attempted assassination in Tarkhany, Ophir and her companions seek refuge in the castle of Raascot while the monsters she's created rage in the southern kingdoms. Torn between the past that scarred her and the future before her, love and rage fuel the princess's history-making steps. Ophir is now engaged to marry Raascot's King Ceneth, the love of her murdered sister Caris, but her heart remains split between two sworn enemies who have become her closest companions: the secretive siren Dwyn and the shadowy spy Tyr. All the while, Tarkhany's Queen Zita prepares a meeting of the continent's monarchs, and alliances old and new will be tested as vengeance clouds politics and hearts. Gyrradin is in a volatile era, and change is inevitable. Curious eyes from around the continent turn to see what the princess will do as the clock runs out for her to make the most important decision Gyrradin has known. Will she save her world, or burn it all down? Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
