The Oleander Sword

Malini has an army and a prophecy supporting her claim to the throne, but removing her brother will demand more than a declaration of destiny. Priya, now a powerful priestess in Ahiranya, faces a different struggle: freeing her country from imperial rule while confronting the sickness spreading through its people and land. The magic within her may offer answers, though its nature remains uncertain. Their separate responsibilities keep drawing them away from one another, even as love and shared history bind their futures together. Continuing The Burning Kingdoms after The Jasmine Throne, this novel places a fraught romance within a widening war, where the choices necessary to protect one homeland may endanger another.
