The Prophet Zarathustra has been called many things. Now he spends his time drawing pictures of weird-looking goats. That's what happens when you've been stuck in a prison cell for two hundred years. But the man who might be mad, and is definitely supposed to be dead, has suddenly become very valuable again…
It's only been a few weeks since Nazafareen escaped the King's dungeons with her daēva, Darius. She hoped never to set foot in the empire again, but the search for the Prophet has led them to the ancient city of Karnopolis. They have to find him before Alexander of Macydon burns Persepolae, and Darius's mother with it. But they're not the only ones looking.
The necromancer Balthazar has his own plans for the Prophet, and so does the sinister spymaster of the Numerators. As Nazafareen is drawn in to a dangerous game of cat and mouse, her newfound powers take a decidedly dark turn. Only the Prophet understands the secret of her gift, but the price of that knowledge may turn out to be more than Nazafareen is willing to pay…

My Review: These covers are just so gorgeous I have falling in love with them so much!! This story is a continuation of book one The Midnight Sea. It picks up where book one left off and I have to say parts of it were kind of meh. If you are reading these back to back like I am, then you are going to find a LOT of things being said about book one. If its been a while since you read book one then you will be totally set!! As the author does a great job reminding you about things that happened in The Midnight Sea. For me though I ended up skimming a lot of the book because it was all rehash.
The story, pacing, and writing were all on par with book one. It flowed and even those rehashes didn't take you out of the story. All of the characters were there and fully formed. And this one will make you just fall even more in love with our main characters of Naza and Darius.
The ending to this one of course ends on a slight cliffhanger and it was almost midnight so I couldn't start the next one. Although this cliffhanger wasn't as bad as book one. I am totally invested in this series as a whole and can not wait to get the next 5 books for the spin off series that follows Naza and her people even more.
