The concluding volume of the Burning Kingdoms trilogy. Malini has claimed the throne of Parijatdvipa as prophesied, but securing the loyalty of the priesthood may require a terrible sacrifice involving the pyre. Priya, now carrying the magic of the deathless waters, is targeted by a mysterious yaksa who demands a sacrifice in exchange for protecting Ahiranya. As an ancient magic and enemy threaten both kingdoms, the two women, once bound by fate and now set against each other, must decide whether to work together again.
