Odyssey - (The Fractured Kingdom) by M L Fergus (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A shocking truth has come to light that will change the kingdom . . . but can Persephone and Azriel survive long enough to see it through? The epic YA romantic fantasy continues in the sequel to Prophecy and the second book of the Fractured Kingdom trilogy.

In the final moments of Prophecy, a truth was revealed to Persephone and Azriel--one that could change everything forever. For her. For him. For them. For the entire kingdom.

But the murderous Regent Mordesius wants this truth buried and them along with it. Cornered and out of options, Azriel boldly bargains: release them, and they will seek out the mythical healing pool. Mordesius agrees but warns that if they do not find it, he'll make those dearest to them suffer--starting with King Finnius.

Persephone has never needed Azriel's teasing warmth more, but she is discovering that there is a price to pay for having broken past promises. Together, the pair set off on a journey that will take them to the farthest corners of the kingdom. Danger will ever lie ahead and behind them; they will battle men and beasts alike.

Will Persephone and Azriel survive these perils? And will this quest see their romance grow cold--or will it burn hotter than ever?

Odyssey is the dramatic, heartpounding second book in the atmospheric, deeply romantic and epic Fractured Kingdom trilogy.
