The Kingdom of Copper is the second book in the Daevabad Trilogy, written by S.A. Chakraborty. If you haven’t read City of Brass, I cannot recommend it strongly enough that you should read it before continuing on.
Book Review: "Arrow's Fall" by Mercedes Lackey
Arrow’s Fall is the climax of Herald Talia’s series. It begins immediately at the end of Arrow’s Flight, where Talia has just arrived home to the Collegium and finds herself embroiled in politics from the get-go. A betrothal offer for Elspeth arrives from the neighbouring kingdom of Hardorn. An offer that appears too good to be true. When Talia and Kris are sent to find out whether the King’s intentions are true, it becomes a struggle to survive that depends on their wits, and the relationships they’ve cultivated with all of Valdemar’s Heralds.
Author Update: Housekeeping and exciting news
Progress, progress, progress! The manuscript came back to me, was reviewed, and is once more back in the hands of my extraordinarily wonderful editor for more hacking and slashing. I am now working on the next big to-do for publishing: cover art! We are inching forward in the home stretch, and soon The Dying Sun will be available for purchase.

Truth from Secrets: 'The Storyteller's Secret'.
A quote I’m very fond of is ‘Artists use lies to tell the truth,’ from V for Vendetta. It’s an appropriate and apt notion for The Storyteller’s Secret. There are two stories within the book. The first centers around Jaya, a NY journalist who is struggling with her third miscarriage and marital strife. After finding out that her grandfather in India is dying, Jaya is determined to uncover secrets buried in their past. It’s her last ditch attempt to reclaim who she used to be, before sorrow and grief tore a hole in her soul.
