Josslyn Drake is in over her head—again. After fleeing the Queen’s palace with Prince Elian in tow, she’d hoped to finally find a way to solve both of their magical problems in one fell swoop, with the help of criminal-turned-ally Jericho Nox. But Valery, Jericho’s boss—and a notoriously powerful mage—has other plans.
It soon becomes clear that Valery can’t, or won’t, provide assistance. And as Joss’s relationship with Jericho becomes more confusing than ever, she realizes that she’ll have to find her own way out of this magical mess, with or without help from those around her.
Amid high tensions, Joss sets out to learn to control the memory magic—along with her own natural powers. As the struggle between Lord Banyon and the Queen threatens the people Joss cares about, she stumbles onto hints of a monumental royal secret. Her unwanted power just might hold the answers she needs to solve all her problems—but she’ll have to work quickly, because the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.

Josslyn Drake and Jericho Nox unravel the Empire's web of lies in this follow-up to Echoes and Empires (2022). Soon after finding out she is the biological daughter of Lord Banyon, the Empire of Regara's greatest enemy, Joss finds herself on the run from Queen Isadora along with her newly found half brother, Prince Elian, and dangerous thief and assassin Jericho, the boy she is falling in love with. The trio hope to turn to Jericho's powerful boss to learn how to control the wayward magic that plagues each of them in different ways, but when they do find the answers--in the most unexpected of places--it may well lead to cataclysmic changes to the very foundation of the Empire as they start to question everything they thought they knew about magic and how far the queen is willing to go to keep its secrets. Starting shortly after the events of the first book, this sequel ups the ante with nonstop action, further twists, huge revelations about the magic system, and a dynamic romance between Joss and Jericho. While some of the flair and snarky humor from the first book are sadly missing from this sequel, the skillful plotting and strong character development help make up for that. The majority of characters are assumed White. A taut, fast-paced, romantic close to a satisfying duology. (Fantasy. 14-18)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
