The Blood Orchid - Kylie Lee Baker

Whatever power you think you have is an illusion. \nWhatever your dreams are, they belong to me. \nAnd wherever you run, I am already there waiting for you. \n \nSince Zilan entered the world of royal alchemists, she has learned firsthand that alchemy comes at a price. She has lost her family and her beloved prince in her search for justice against the evil Empress. All Zilan wants now is to find some way to bring them back. Resurrection is her specialty, after all. \n \nIn search of Penglai Island, where the infamous myth says life can be fully restored, Zilan starts a new adventure. But Penglai Island has been kept well hidden by a group of unpredictable, and often dangerous, alchemists. Uncovering the secret means challenging some of the most powerful alchemists to ever live. And when old threats come back to haunt Zilan, she will have to decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to save her loved ones--and the practice of alchemy that has long defined her and the world around her. \n \nThis gripping duology closer by the acclaimed author of The Keeper of Night is not to be missed!
