Synopsis

Dara Ruminor takes her new position as a castle guard for the King of Vertigon very seriously. She refuses to allow her feelings for Siv to get in the way of atoning for her parents' actions, no matter how hard it is to keep her distance. But she's keeping secrets from her king—and the one involving a fiery newfound ability is getting harder to hide.

When Sivarrion Amintelle ascends the throne of Vertigon, he's condemned to the drudgery of council meetings, strategic marriages, and the maneuverings of ambitious noblemen. There aren't nearly enough sharp, pointy objects involved, and a certain swordswoman still makes him want to sneak away from his duties at every opportunity.

But the Peace of Vertigon is over, and unknown foes conspire to end Siv's reign before it truly begins. As their enemies' plots grow more complicated, Dara and Siv will have to enlist help from an unlikely source. But if her secrets get out, Dara will have even bigger problems. And Siv might decide not to trust her after all.

Goodreads review by Selina on September 12, 2021

4.5 stars, maybe? I am torn. On the one hand, this kept me engaged and up until 2am last night because I needed to know just HOW everything was going to go to crap (because it so clearly was) and if/how they were going to make it through. I still love the characters. On the other, this book drove me......more

Goodreads review by Simply Sam on December 22, 2022

I almost rated this one 4 stars because unnecessary secret keeping is one of my pet peeves AND because there was so much willful oblivion. Plus there was a little bit of romantic angst. Bleh, but also yum, if that makes sense? But I am so deeply invested in Siv and Dara and the rest of the crew, not......more

Goodreads review by Laura on July 03, 2016

King of Mist (Steel and Fire - book 2) was every bit as good as Duel of Fire (book 1). Typically, I don't read YA Fantasy, but the characters are so engaging and the plot so thrilling, that I'm completely hooked on this series. This book is a real page turner and I couldn't recommend it more.......more
