Description
Lyra Selene returns to the incandescent magic of Amber & Dusk in a second installment about the corrosions of even the most dazzling dreams, and the strength of hope amidst darkness.

Mirage, triumphant in her coup of the Amber Empire, returns to the palais prepared to take her place as empress. With the support of her friends and a tentative, blossoming romance with Sunder, Mirage is on the cusp of taking hold of everything she has ever wanted.However, her place in the sun is not as sure as she expected, nor is it quite as bright as she imagined.When the Empress Severine's body was recovered from the battle, Mirage discovered she was not dead after all. Rather, Severine is in a coma, her every breath a threat to Mirage's newfound power. Worse, a distant cousin, Gavin d'Ars, appears at court with the challenge of his blood claim. As Mirage uncovers more secrets from her family's past, she proposes a series of ancient, grueling trials to determine the most deserving heir. But in Mirage's fight to defend her vision for the empire, she begins to splinter all of her alliances. Will the battle for control leave anyone untainted?

        October 1, 2019
        Mirage, now dauphine, is back in this sequel to Amber & Dusk (2018). Mirage has succeeded in dethroning her half sister, Severine, but ruling isn't easy, and the tension of the transition is worsened by the rise of a religious zealot and his followers who incite citizens against Mirage and wreak havoc in the Amber City. Though Mirage is a sympathetic character, readers may wonder if she's actually fit to rule: She's learned to read but doesn't understand much about the kingdom she's ruling and makes impetuous choices, sometimes ignoring feedback from advisers and other times following said advisers' plans seemingly without thinking things through. When her charming, handsome, distant cousin Gavin--the only other person with a legitimate claim to the throne--arrives, Mirage must battle both Gavin's machinations and her peoples' perception that he's the true Sun Heir. A mysterious, ancient, magical test to determine succession surfaces, and it's clear that Mirage has grown: She no longer believes she's owed the throne by virtue of her birth but instead chooses to fight for it. Secondary characters are better fleshed out than in the first book, though the penchant for excessive metaphors and similes remains and is distracting. Most significant characters are described as white. There's enough here to please fans of the first novel. (Fantasy. 14-18)

        November 15, 2019
        Grades 9-12 After overthrowing the cruel Queen Severine (Amber & Dusk, 2018), Mirage prepares to claim the throne as ruler of the Amber Empire. With the coronation around the corner, her dreams of a brighter future for her people should be falling into place?but things are far from perfect. The people don't trust Mirage's legitimacy as heir or her murky background, a religious fanatic is recruiting followers and turning them against her before she's had a chance to prove herself, and a distant cousin surprises her at court, threatening her claim to the throne. What's most troubling, however, is that Queen Severine still lives, stuck in a coma and haunting Mirage's thoughts. Mirage fears she won't survive the revolution she started, destined for the same bloody fate as her predecessor. The conclusion to Selene's duology grapples with strength, hope, and righting old wrongs, and while shock value drives much of the plot, complex characters and edge-of-your-seat action carry the series to a tantalizing yet gratifying end.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
