The Burning Shadow (Gods and Warriors Book 2)

Michelle Paver

The Second book in the breathtaking Gods and Warriors series by Michelle Paver, bestselling author of Wolf Brother.

‘If an Outsider wields the blade, the House of Koronos burns…’ A boy on the run.

A deadly prophecy.

A race against time.

Hylas the Outsider is captured by slavers. Set to work in the terrible underground mines of Thalakrea, he learns to his horror that he’s now closer than ever to his murderous enemies, the Crows. He has to escape before they find out he’s here. Pirra, the daughter of the High Priestess, is also on the run. When Fate reunites her with Hylas, their survival depends on ancient magic and an orphaned lion cub - unless the Gods have other plans…
