About this listen
He rides a seablood, a steed of salt and spray, born to challenge the tides.
Six years ago, the wrong brother survived, and nothing will ever convince Rafi Tetrani otherwise. But he is done running from his past, and from the truth. As civil war threatens Ceridwen’s tenuous rule in Soldonia, Rafi vows to fight the usurper sitting on the imperial throne of Nadaar, even if it means shouldering his brother’s responsibilities as the empire’s lost heir.
The stolen shipload of magical warhorses offers just the edge he needs. But the steeds have been demanded in ransom by the emperor’s ruthless assassin, and if Rafi hopes to raise a band of riders, he must first outwit his brother’s murderer.
Yet when his best efforts end in disaster, and an audacious raid sparks an empire-wide manhunt, even forging an unexpected alliance might not be enough to help Rafi turn the tides, let alone outrace the wave of destruction intent on sweeping them all away.
Seas boil and jungles burn in this tempestuous second installment of The Fireborn Epic as the outcast queen, captive missionary, and royal rebel strive to unearth the mysterious power that hungers for their world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Eternity Gate is found, and kings and monsters battle over its legends of treasure. But rumors whisper that someone stole the gate's ancient key. Seyo, handmaiden to the princess, keeps three secrets. First, she's gifted in fire, not light, and may as well be cursed. Second, she translates a prophecy warning that the gate does not offer treasure but judgment. Third, Jorai, the scorned prince and Seyo's confidant, entrusts her with the key and disappears.

Epic heroes. Nasty villains. Pulse pounding adventure from start to finish.
The second installment of the Fireborn Epic delivers such a powerful story.
Where book one introduces you to a thrilling original fantasy world, book two pulls you deeper and deeper into the lore and cultures of this world.
But what made me truly fall for this book was the characters. Every person who lives in the pages has their own unique voice and story. I couldn’t help wanting to cheer for each and every one of them (except Rhodri. He can suck on a lemon).
If you’re new to the series, grab “Of Fire and Ash” first. You’ll not be disappointed. Then continue the thrilling journey by diving into “Of Sea and Smoke”.

Good Unexpected Plot Twists
I really enjoy this series and looking forward to the next installment. It has unexpected plot twists (although in the back of my mind I did expect most things). I like how things and individuals begin to come together into one story. I’ll not give any other spoilers. I do wish that Aed was a bit more involved in the lives of the characters.

Outstanding in epic proportions
If you liked Of Fire and Ash, you’ll find Of Sea and Smoke to be even more. More stakes, more twists, more disappointment and challenge, more selflessness and courage, more relationships. The mysteries deepen and the circles draw tighter. Old rivalries shift and I can’t wait for book 3! If you’re an epic fantasy reader, move this to the top of the list.
