Description
The epic sequel to Song of Silver, Flame Like Night. A fast-paced, riveting YA fantasy inspired by the mythology and folklore of ancient China.
Years ago, the Elantian colonisers invaded Lan's homeland and killed her mother in their search to uncover the location of the Last Kingdom's legendary four Demon Gods. Lan's mother devoted her life to destroying the Demon Gods, and Lan is determined to complete her mission. Yet, there are others searching for the gods too.
Zen knew his soul was forfeit the moment he made a deal with the Demon God known as the Black Tortoise, but he's willing to lose himself if it means saving the Kingdom—and the girl—he loves. To crush the colonisers who have invaded his land, he needs more power than even a single Demon God can provide. He needs an army, and he knows exactly where he can find it—in the undead army his great grandfather led decades ago.
The Elantians may have stolen their throne, but the battle for the Last Kingdom has only begun.
