Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga #2) by Kiersten White
She has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she’s always had: herself.
After
failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada Dracul is out to punish
anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot
rage, she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her
childhood friend Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t
getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed 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.
What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and
skill. 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. Radu longs
for his sister’s fierce confidence—but for the first time in his life,
he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between loyalties to
faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada nothing. If
she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he fails in
Constantinople, will 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.
