The Beasts We Raise sees Mancella, after defeating her tyrannous father and ascending the throne, facing the mammoth task of uniting the fractured and rival realms he left behind. By her side is Silver, whose fierce loyalty is the only thing keeping Mance together as her new magic threatens to tear her apart. She grapples with a power much more dangerous than Silver knows—and she's keeping secrets.

When news of a proposed alliance to stop the war reaches them, Mance can't help but consider the opportunity. However, the alliance involves a strategic marriage to the arrogant leader of a neighbouring realm, a choice not everyone she trusts can endorse, especially as rumours start to swirl of an enemy plotting her downfall from the treacherous Broken Citadel.

As tensions rise between the realms and war looms ever closer, Mance and Silver must choose their next moves carefully or risk the safety of their people—and the realm itself. But what is the price of freedom when their hearts are on the line?

About the Author

D. L. Taylor is an attorney by trade. She’s worked in criminal defence and civil non-profit law, but writing has always had a special hold on her heart. Though she hails from the sunny lands of California, she married a Midwestern boy and ended up settling down outside Chicago. She has three kids, two cats, and minimal sanity, but in the quiet hours before dawn she likes to write about magic, mischief and moral quandaries. The Beasts We Raise is the sequel to her debut, The Beasts We Bury.
