The Citadel burns.

Having escaped the clutches of the Council, Eva and her comrades are forced into hiding, hunted by the nations they once served. The fragile alliance that carried them this far begins to fracture under the weight of secrets, betrayal, and grief.

Elijah Danon now wields the power of a Guardian, yet bears scars invisible to those around him. Haunted by the affliction of his family and the horrors he endured, he no longer believes peace is possible. If the war is to end, there is only one way-burn it all down.

Evalynn Katz refuses to accept salvation for their country gifted in the arms of bloodshed. Caught between love, loyalty, and the crown she never wanted, Eva searches desperately for a way to end the fighting without becoming the very thing they fear.

But time is running out. Old enemies hunt them. Ancient powers stir. As friendships shatter and vengeance takes root, Eva and Eli find themselves walking toward an inevitable choice-one that will decide the fate of Adiel, and may cost them everything they hold dear.

Industry Reviews

"I am not a book reader yet AJ Chase's books are incredible and hard to put down. I read Shield and Sorrow for 90 minutes yesterday! The story is fascinating, each character has so much detail and the author describes what they are thinking. This book, well, both Shield and Sorrow, Sword and Veil are top notch books. I am excited for book 3! I would love to meet the author one day and get an autograph!"

"What a fantastic follow-up to Sword and Veil! The story and character development in this sequel are exquisite. Eli's journey is raw, real, emotional, and truly unique. Bravo on yet another stunning installment in this trilogy! Can't wait for book 3!"

"This epic fantasy continues to delivers on both action and emotion. The characters are flawed, believable, and easy to root for, and the stakes keep getting higher with every chapter! I love the themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of revenge. I found myself thinking about the story long after I finished. Highly recommend for fantasy fans!!! 10/10"

"Amazing second book by AJ Chase. The journey that Eli goes thru is real and raw. And the character development is amazing. The world building also keeps on revealing just how big the political conflict goes. Chase sets the stage for an epic 3rd book! I can't wait to see where the crew ends up."
