The next book in the epic fantasy series by USA Today bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.

Isolde, newly coronated queen, has finally found a king worthy of her in the vampire Adrian. But their love for each other has cost Isolde her father and her homeland. With two opposing goddesses playing mortals and vampires like chess pieces against one another, Isolde is uncertain who her allies are in the vampire stronghold of Revekka.

Now, as politics in the Red Palace grow more underhanded and a deadly blood mist threatens all of Cordova, Isolde must trust in the bond she's formed with Adrian, even as she learns troubling information about his complicated past.
 
 
My Review: You quickly jump right in where the first left off and continue on for Isolde and Adrian's story.
 
Isolde can't sleep, she's still reliving what just happened and why her own father would do such a thing. Now her homeland is at stake with him gone. Right now all she wants is to go to the library and research. 
 
Isolde learns more about her past, about Adrian and their life together. While that unfolds, the blood mist will find its way into the castle and things are going to get shaken up now.
 
Everything is in chaos. The people are freaking out over the mist in the castle and worst of all, the body of Ana's lover released it upon them all. Now people are dead, injured and want to know what is happening to stop all of this. 
 
Adrian sents men out to look for the missing witch, checking thebother towns and sending men out to keep an eye on Isolde's old home. 
 
All the while Isolde and her ladies attempt to spell this mist to being binded and hopefully save her people. Sadly, there are those who still hate witchcraft and they were dealt with beatings from the towns people. Isolde will be okau, Ana won't wake just yet and their friend and lady had not been lucky. 
 
Adrian and Isolde still have love and passion through out despite the ups and downs, they will always find a way to make it work. Which will be tested once the news arrives about her homeland. 
 
With the news in hand, Adrian and Isolde make for her homeland where things pick up quickly and you just know everything and anything is about to go down. 
 
With the twists and surprises at just the right moments and the way it ended on just the right cliffhanger. You cant help but impatiently wait for the next book.
