FORGED IN BATTLE. HER LEGEND BEGINS. The war may be over, but Hai Meilin is still suffering the costs - cast into prison upon her return. Her crime? Wielding a sword as a woman. A pariah to everyone within the walls, her legend has taken on a life of its own beyond. To the east, a rebel leader needs Meilin to helm his revolution. In the south, a former enemy prince seeks her aid in restoring balance to the Three Kingdoms. And back home, Meilin's commander, and first love, wants Meilin by his side in his bid for the throne. Meilin vows that this time she will not be so quick to trust. Yet there is one she cannot help but listen to - for he dwells within her. The sea dragon Qinglong has his own plans. During the war, Meilin wielded his power to cheat death and gain victory: now he has come to collect his dues. The spirits demand blood. And Qinglong is ravenous. The explosive sequel to The Night Ends with Fire, the Sunday Times bestselling epic fantasy reimagining of the legend of Mulan.
