Description

Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:The second thrilling Flame Sea novel from the national bestselling author known as �a must-read for those who enjoy fantasy and romance� (The Best Reviews).   Raised to understand and control advanced magics, the Fae Rii know they must be careful with the wild, abundant energies of their new desert homeland. They must also downplay the awe they inspire in the Bronze Age humans around them. Still, they have managed to create some equilibrium between the two factions, primitive versus advanced�at least, until new outworlders arrive, tipping the scales out of balance.   Strict and power-hungry, the ruthless Efrijt take the phrase �deal with the devil� to a new level. A treaty may be possible; however, the solution proposed will in turn give birth to a new problem: A chaos that will dance its way through all three races trying to survive in the burning heat of the Flame Sea�   Includes an exclusive preview of the next Flame Sea novel, Gods of the Flame Sea Praise for Jean Johnson   �Johnson�s writing is fabulously fresh, thoroughly romantic, and wildly entertaining.��Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author   �A fresh new voice in fantasy romance, Jean Johnson spins an intriguing tale of destiny and magic.��Robin D. Owens, RITA Award�winning author.… (more)

A rather partial story - it doesn't quite have a full arc, unlike the first novella. Set 30 years after Dawn of the Flame Sea; the Flame Sea tribe has settled in nicely with the Fae, but Ban finds, on one of his exploring trips, that a different group of outworlders, the Efrijt, have taken over a

tribe to the north. The Efrijt are more interested in exploiting the natives than in working with them as the Fae do; they abide by the letter of the contracts they make, but no more. A few new Fae come in to help with the negotiations, and the Fae homeworld cuts itself off (for unrelated reasons)...and then doesn't reconnect when they expected it to. And the story ends with a new connection between the Fae and the Efrijt, the question of the Veilway hanging, and really nothing concluded. I hope the next story comes out soon.
