Up in Molten Lights

In a twisted web of magical secrets, betrayal, and tyranny, a con artist and a revolutionary risk life and love for revenge in E.B. Golden's thrilling sequel to Behind the Crimson Curtain.

Luisonn's citizens are finally united, but they don't see the monster behind President Hulei's lies. Firin does. He destroyed her life and turned the only man she's ever loved against her. Now presumed dead, she resurfaces with a new face and a thirst for vengeance. The president must die.

Bregan lost everything to rebellion and betrayal: his family, his theater, and now Firin. When gruesome murders rise in the city's shadows-with many of the victims children-and clues implicate the president, Bregan starts investigating. He must set something right, even if it won't bring Firin back from the dead.

On their paths for revenge and justice, both Firin and Bregan encounter Guilo-a striking and mysterious magician with his own reasons for seeking vengeance against Hulei. To save the children of Luisonn and stop tyranny, Firin forces the two men to work together. But as she grows an unexpected bond with Guilo, a devastating secret comes to light. When the fate of the nation's most vulnerable is tied to Firin's heart, who will she choose? And at what cost?
