Synopsis
The cost of survival isn’t just power—it’s becoming someone else to wield it. Brida has always known the world to be cruel—but she never expected to be dragged into its darkest corners. Abducted by one of the people she trusted most, she’s thrust into the heart of the Court of Whispers, where secrets are currency and she has none. Surrounded by cryptic allies and shadowed truths, Brida is desperate to uncover why she was taken—and what he knows about her mother’s past. But the deeper she digs, the more the world around her begins to fracture. The truths she finds threaten everything she thought she understood—about her family, her power, and herself. And when the game turns deadly, Brida will have to decide who to become in a place where even your name can be a lie. Tides of Memory is the second book in The Shattered Sky Saga, an epic fantasy romance series brimming with rich world-building, electrifying slow burn chemistry, and pulse-pounding action. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and A Court of Thorns and Roses
