Presenting the highly anticipated second instalment in Roxan Burley's captivating Equal Rise series, this instalment blends elements of fantasy and dystopia seamlessly.

🖤 A bond accepted.
🖤 An oath sworn.
🖤 Three lives intrinsically linked, seeking a better future.

But can they maintain what they started?

Shattering the glass tower had far flung consequences, but Cole, Eira and Oran’s problems have just started.

When Eira gets held hostage via her Bloodstream, she has no choice but to protect Oran’s mind at all costs. But the secret she discovers there could destroy everything they’ve worked for.

Cole’s humanity weighs on him as he fails to protect those he cares about. What’s the point of the drop of power in his blood if he can’t use it to help anyone?

Oran needs to take his place as the leader of his clan, but the past is quickly catching up to him.

Together, they must face an enemy even greater than the Dark, but will secrets and jealousy get in the way?

Dive into this urban fantasy gem that not only unravels the mysteries of magic but also peels back the layers of secret societies. With every page turn, you'll be irresistibly pulled into a captivating web of intrigue, eager to uncover what lies beneath the surface.

The second book jumps the reader right back into the story. I think book two is even better, with more action, more twists and lots of treachery. My advice is to read the first book before you start this one (I’m sure you will love it too, and have double the reading fun). Roxan Burley drops us back into her exciting fantasy world with a bang where creatures of legend, including Eira and her friends are being drawn deeper into the fight against the Dark. More of the characters pasts and connections are revealed, and treachery is never far away as the plot twists and plunges Eira into peril. But friends she has, and friends support, with a tightrope chance of success. But it’s easy to fall off a tightrope. I can’t wait for book three!!!
