Against the Hunger of Tyrants is the second book in a sweeping epic fantasy trilogy full of dragons, alchemical magic, and forbidden romance that unfolds as three people in a shattered empire become entangled in a looming revolution.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the protective shield surrounding the Celes basin has been breached, and the monsters who live outside are on the attack. 

As chaos reigns, Tesha finds herself caught in a web of city politics and hidden agendas. She must figure out who to trust and how to save her home, all while ensuring her own secret—that she's a political insult bride, and not highborn at all—stays safe. 

Naili wants to find the cure for her strange alchemical powers. But as her abilities grow more dangerous, she must learn to use them—or be consumed by them. 

And dragon rider Ash has fled into the wild sands beyond the basin on a quest to uncover the truth from the lies he's spent his whole life believing. By his side is Mana, his right-hand man, his lover, and—impossibly—the heir to a long-lost crown and perhaps the key to saving the basin once and for all. 

Praise for the Shattered Kingdom: 

"Wildly inventive. Shifting alliances, revelations, and relationships full of love and lust make this a compelling read." —Andrea Stewart 

"Wit and ambition flow in equal measure in this sparkling fantasy where everyone must guard their back. You'll be dying for more!" —Elyse John
