The Lotus Empire brings Tasha Suri’s acclaimed Burning Kingdoms trilogy to a heart-stopping close. As an ancient magic returns to Ahiranya and threatens its very foundations, Empress Malini and priestess Priya will stop at nothing to save their kingdoms—even if it means they must destroy each other.

Malini has claimed her rightful throne as the empress of Parijatdvipa, just as the nameless gods prophesied. Now, in order to gain the support of the priesthood who remain loyal to the fallen emperor, she must consider a terrible bargain: Claim her throne and burn in order to seal her legacy—or find another willing to take her place on the pyre.

Priya has survived the deathless waters and now their magic runs in her veins. But a mysterious yaksa with flowering eyes and a mouth of thorns lies beneath the waters. The yaksa promises protection for Ahiranya. But in exchange, she needs a sacrifice. And she's chosen Priya as the one to offer it.

Two women once entwined by fate now stand against each other. But when an ancient enemy rises to threaten their world, Priya and Malini will find themselves fighting together once more–to prevent their kingdoms, and their futures, from burning to ash.

All the sloppy wonder of humanity written as characters. The love, hope, fear, hate, and struggle of humanity in the complex narrative we construct and follow as humans is beautifully illustrated by the weave of characters and tensions. There is depth to the story overall and the ways that each character pursues their purpose and love. The trilogy is worth reading and rereading.
Narration is fantastic and consistent.

if you've gotten this far in the series, you already know it's going to be gut wrenching and beautiful. It lives up to my expectations and hopes

beautifully written

I felt emotionally caught up in this story. It was quite well done, awesome narration and passionate positions. I would say the climax was predictable but not in a bad way. I’m glad good things happened for our characters after so much suffering, that’s a change of pace. Hope is alive.
I did roll my eyes every time the author used the word VAST though. So many things were vast. Vast. Vaaaasstttt.
But I loved the world and characters.

Quite good yes

Page-turner!

The narration was superb, and the story telling had me awake until 2am listening because I -needed- to know what happened. Tasha Suri is easily one of my favorite authors, and while I'm sad to see the Burning Kingoms end, I look forward to what Suri does next.

A Gripping Conclusion

I'm madly in love with this entire series. I listen to each book with the same rapt attention. You're pulled directly into the well developed world with clearly defined characters and story progression. Then, there's the complicated, but passionated love story threaded through all of the war and turmoil. Very well imagined and beautifully told stories! I'll listen again in a month or so now that I have all three books...can't wait!

Luxurious Imagery

I’ve been waiting for this finale and I wasn’t disappointed. The Burning Kingdom series feels so full as a trilogy because while there is a a sweeping plot full of intrigue and peril, it’s also a love story - not only in the romantic sense but in all the ways that love can exist and bind and hurt and free you. BIG RECOMMEND!!

Epic!
