Guardian of the Drowned Empire is the second book in a sensational romantic series. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Danielle L. Jensen, and Rebecca Yarros. Loyalty will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Ancient promises will be reforged. Lyr has only three months to prepare for a test that will decide her fate. Despite Rhyan's promise of additional training, her life has never been in more danger, and her enemies inch closer every day. Staying safe means more time under Rhyan's protection. But the closer they become, the more their desire ignites, and the harder it becomes to resist temptation. Secrets can only remain hidden for so long. As new threats arrive at the Bamarian border, Lyr delves deeper into solving the mystery of her power. But revealing these secrets and surviving the Emperor's test may cost Lyr more than she can bargain for. And most dangerous of all: as passion burns, oaths will be broken.
