Synopsis

The worst of rivals, closest of friends, the two most wanted men in a war-torn world: Kandri and Mektu Hinjuman have cheated death so often it's begun to feel like a way of life. But nothing has prepared them for the danger and enchantment of the Ravenous Lands. This sprawling, lethal desert is the brothers' last hope, for they have killed the favorite son of Her Radiance the Prophet, and her death-priests and magical servants are hunting them.

There are dangers even within their caravan. Some of their fellow travelers worship the Prophet in secret. Others, including Mektu, have become obsessed with a bejeweled dagger that seems to afflict its owners with madness or death.

Kandri is carrying an encoded cure for the World Plague, a disease that has raged for centuries—while far from the desert, certain criminals have learned just how lucrative a plague can be. Who, in this game of shadows, can Kandri trust?

He knows one thing, however: they must reach Kasralys, great and beautiful fortress-city of the east. Only there can Kandri seek word of the lover who vanished one night without a trace.

But Kasralys, never conquered in 3,000 years, is about to face its greatest siege in history.

And it did a fantastic job - I pity the next book I read having to struggle out of the shadow of this tome! It was an immediate joy to be back with Redick's prose. He writes e......more

Oh my god, what an unbelievable sequel. If you guys still haven't tried out the Fire Sacraments Trilogy, you really need to (starting with Master Assassins, the first book!). The characters, the world, the plot–everything is so well done and incredibly developed and it just makes me want more consta......more

[URL not allowed] I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Sidewinders is the highly anticipated sequel in the Fire Sacrament series. This novel has been at the top of my TBR for the past 3 years as Robert V.S Redick has led my every roaming imagin......more

Goodreads review by Sam on May 01, 2021

This book took me back to being 14, reading under the covers with a flashlight, and living fully within a fictional world. When I was young many books would give me this feeling, but now (perhaps I am more discriminating) very few do. This was one of them. It's a long book (654 pages). I finished it......more

Goodreads review by Reece on March 12, 2021

An excellent follow up to Master Assassins. Everything that made the first one so good is continued here. A gruelling journey across a seemingly endless desert fraught with unending perils. Gripping from start to finish. I loved it as much as its predecessor and I can't wait for the finale.......more
