| Breath of Fire: The Kingmaker Chronicles by Amanda BouchetFantasy Romance. Not only is Catalia "Cat" Fisa the Kingmaker, who "hears the lie and knows the truth," she's also a runaway princess -- a secret she's kept for nearly a decade. Cat hoped she could leave all that behind and live with Griffin, her Sintan warlord lover, but Griffin has discovered the truth of her identity, which could jeopardize their plans to unite the three realms of Thalyria. Picking up where Promise of Fire left off, Breath of Fire is the 2nd volume of the Kingmaker Chronicles, which bolsters its central love story with an epic storyline and detailed world-building. Although this series is somewhat unusual for following one couple's developing relationship across (a projected) three books, its strong leads and emotional intensity should please romance fans. |
