With Tau still seeking revenge for both his father and his many sword-brothers’ deaths and the queen seeking to reunify the Omehi split apart by her council’s betrayal and their championed queen her sister, the pair faces enemies from multiple fronts with very little time to plan their next move. Tau, on the other hand, must come to terms with his new role as the Queen’s Champion, and what that means with his relationship with her as he is a Lesser and she a Noble. Queen Tsiora must attempt to find a way to reconcile with the Xiddeen after their planned peace fell apart, in order to unite both the Omehi and the Xiddeen to eventually face the Cull her Ancestors had warned about. The Fires of Vengeance picks up right where The Rage of Dragons left off, with the main character, champion Tau Solaris, and his queen Tsiora left to navigate the aftermath of both the Xiddeen invasion and the betrayal of the queen’s council. It took 3 days for me to finally finish the book – and y’all best believe this is some of the most intense books I’ve read in 2020.
I loved The Rage of Dragons, but I had not featured the book in my blog nor my other social media so imagine my surprise when Orbit Books approved my request for The Fires of Vengeance – I hit that “Request” button on a total whim! At this point I was ready to devour it all in one go, but of course I had no idea what was coming.
Bluntly speaking, The Fires of Vengeance is a book that is best described as The Rage of Dragons on steroids.
If the city can be taken, if Tsiora can reclaim her throne and reunite her people, then the Omehi might have a chance to survive the coming onslaught.Ībout one year after his blazing debut The Rage of Dragons, Evan Winter makes his return with The Fires of Vengeance – and makes good on the unspoken promise of blood its predecessor had offered. If Tau succeeds, the queen will have the time she needs to assemble her forces and launch an all-out assault on her own capital city, where her sister is being propped up as the ‘true’ Queen of the Omehi. Genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Grimdark, Military Fantasyĭesperate to delay an impending attack by the indigenous people of Xidda, Tau and his queen craft a dangerous plan.
