Famine's Mantle

Sometimes, once you're found, you become lost again.

Peace was never going to come without a price.

Ash survived the horrors of Edorn only to discover that becoming the Butterfly Queen may cost her everything she loves. As the Horsemen of Peace struggle against the Accuser's darkness growing inside themselves, the Redeemer's vision for the city begins to fracture.

And War has finally arrived.

With his followers infiltrating Edorn's streets, no corner of the city is safe. But War is missing the one thing he needs to complete his power: Famine. And his obsession with Ash threatens to drag her to a destiny she never wanted with the Accuser.

Betrayed by those she trusted most and desperate to protect the people she loves, Ash makes a dangerous choice- one that binds her to Nolan and Nyla and forces her to pursue the terrifying mantle of Famine. Yet the closer she moves toward War's side, the more she risks becoming the Bloody Empress of Famine.

As a deep betrayal drives Ash into War's arms, old loyalties burn, and an unexpected hero rises to bring Ash back to Peace before Edorn descends into chaos. But with battle looming between humans and Soul Eaters alike, the fate of the city may rest in the hands of the very monsters controlling it.

And if Ash cannot master her undying hunger, Edorn won't survive what comes next.

Filled with dark fantasy, forbidden loyalties, supernatural warfare, found family, and emotional twists, Famine's Mantle raises the stakes in the gripping sequel to The Butterfly Queen.
