A SISTER FILLED WITH RAGE
Lada Dracul has no allies. No crown. All she has is what she's always had: herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who dares cross her. She storms the countryside with her men, but brute force isn't getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed, the defiant Ottoman sultan, brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There's no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him before he could leave her. HER BROTHER CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS
Lada needs the support of her diplomatic younger brother, Radu. But Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople--and it's no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines. And for the first time in his life, when Lada asks him for help, he refuses . . . leading his sister to make the darkest of choices. THE ULTIMATE POWER PLAY
Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, Radu knows he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself--but if he fails in Constantinople, would Mehmed ever forgive him? As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: what will they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be won . . . and souls will be lost.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Firru . a dat nota:
The romance gets a bit on the annoying side at times, but it's far less present in this book than the first. I think it's there to spark emotions in the characters to really make them go there when it comes to being angry or hurt and doing drastic actions. There is more character development here, especially for Radu. Politics and religion play a large part in the events. I enjoyed the different opinions on the taking of Constantinople regarding religion. It is discussed in a non-offensive way and is rather enlightening. I do miss the characters being together. There was something so special in the first book regarding Lada and Radu's sibling relationship. Don't get me wrong..it is still there. But more in the way that Lada recognizes the skills Radu has that she could really use. She realizes she is stronger with her brother by her side. But that won't do her any good with Radu being sent to Constantinople as Mehmed's inside guy.
