The Wicked and the Damned: Volume 2

In a tale of love, legacy and magic, one fiery couple forced apart must navigate a deadly maze of politics and power to reunite across a continent at war...

Torn from the arms of her husband Reid and dragged back to her homeland in chains, Vaasa is no longer a ruler, but a political pawn. With her magic under the control of her family's former advisor, Ozik, Vaasa is coerced to partake in his games. Aiming to install himself as the true power of Asterya, Ozik intends to force Vaasa to wed a wealthy lord. But before his plan can play out, Vaasa discovers a cryptic message from her late mother detailing a precious gift that might be the answer to freeing her magic... if she can find it.

Meanwhile, across the continent, Reid is done playing politics. But waging war is never simple, and brute force will only go so far. With allies fading and time slipping away, Reid finds he has no choice but to infiltrate Asterya alone in order to bring home the woman he loves.

What will Vaasa and Reid do for agency in a world that seeks to take it from them? Fighting against imprisonment and conniving bureaucratic schemes, the pair must risk it all to finally return to one another, and save Icruria from the supernatural forces brewing behind the Asteryan throne.
