"McAlpine's wispy narration is a great fit...a satisfying start to a new series." —AudioFile on The Fireborne Blade
A tale of honor, dragons, and a love that endures beyond death
Come for the journey through the underworld. Stay for the suspiciously familiar winged cat.
After their dubiously successful quest to slay the White Lady and recover the Fireborne Blade, Sir Maddileh and Saralene set about changing their world for the better. But the cursed and newly-promoted High Mage Saralene must visit the afterlife to ask a favor of the Bloodless Princes who run the underworld.
But Saralene and Sir Maddileh will soon discover that the old tales only hold so much truth in them, though perhaps there's enough to make a start on their new journey.
To escape the underworld alive, Saralene will need a lot more than just her wits. And Maddileh will need more than just her Fireborne Blade.

Bond ramps up the action in this far more successful follow-up to The Fireborne Blade. It’s been three years since Maddileh went into the dragon White Lady’s lair and saved her lover, Saralene, with both of them coming back from the dead by commandeering the bodies of Petros and Hosh. Now, Hosh attempts to reclaim his life by trading places with Saralene once more. As Hosh becomes more daring in his efforts to resurrect himself, Maddileh and Saralene return to the White Lady’s lair to seek her assistance. The dragon proposes that Maddileh burn Saralene’s body to cut her ties with Hosh, sending her to the Gravelands, or the underworld. Maddileh and the dragon must then descend into the Gravelands to negotiate with the princes who rule it, reclaim Saralene, and use the Fireborn Blade to forge a way out. Bond expertly expands the lore of her series and ties up the loose ends that frustrated in the first book. Series readers will be satisfied.
