The epic second book in M. H. Ayinde's relentlessly gripping Invoker Trilogy, following the Sunday Times bestselling debut A Song of Legends Lost.

Tension simmers across Nine Lands. In the capital, the people of Lordsgrave seethe with resentment after the horrors of the greyblood attack. Clan Adatali are in open rebellion against the king. And as war in the Feverlands rages on, a humble tree feller who looks a lot like missing invoker Jinao Mizito, has not forgotten the promise he made to avenge his brother.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, the king's daughter Lyela continues to move her pieces across the board. Will the people of Nine Lands reclaim their stolen history and unlock the secrets that have been kept from them for centuries?

A Dance of Burning Blades is a sweeping epic of revenge and rebellion set in a richly drawn world of warring clans and ancestor magic.

Fantastic work by the voice actor in bringing the characters to life. I have the physical copy which I read alongside this and not only am I shocked that this is somehow even better than the first book (and the first book was my fave read last year), but I’m fairly certain this will be my fave read this year. The voices for Boleo and Kipteni were my absolute faves!

Can’t wait to find out what happens next!

Marvellous!
