The Lotus Empire

Malini has gained the imperial throne, but holding it requires the support of a priesthood whose demands could cost her everything. In Ahiranya, Priya carries the power of the deathless waters while an ancient presence offers protection at a terrible price. Each woman faces a bargain that ties her survival to the future of the people she leads. Their love has not erased the political and sacred forces dividing them, and the choices ahead may place them on opposing sides. Yet a returning enemy threatens more than either kingdom can withstand alone, drawing Priya and Malini back toward one another. The final Burning Kingdoms novel brings their sapphic epic fantasy to its conclusion amid rival faiths, imperial ambition and the personal cost of wielding power.
