About This Book

From the international bestselling author Anthony Ryan comes the spectacular second novel in a new epic fantasy trilogy inspired by Norse mythology. 

The Sister Queens have fallen and Ascarlia lies naked before the storm. A Nihlvarian plan, years in the making, has seen Ascarlia's enemy seize the capital Skar Magnol. Now the invaders look to the wealthy port city of Olversahl to complete their conquest.
 
But there is hope.
 
Elvine is trapped at the heart of the conspiracy, yet her role in the new government offers the chance to plan resistance from within. She must tread a fine line between loyalty and secret disobedience, knowing the smallest mistake will mean her death.
 
Meanwhile, Thera has secured the Outer Islands, but her loyalist forces alone cannot liberate Skar Magnol. She must seek allies to have any chance of defeating the Nihlvarian threat. But her greater challenge will be to overcome her own doubts and become the leader she needs to be.
 
If she fails, Ascarlia will fall.
 
And far away across the ocean, Felnir embarks on a bloody path towards kingship whilst to the north, Ruhlin seeks escape from the tyrannical realm of Nihlvar where the mysterious Vortigurn holds sway. 
 
Continuing the epic tale begun in A Tide of Black SteelBorn of an Iron Storm is a compelling saga of bloody retribution, deadly intrigue, and desperate courage.  

"A gripping epic." – Publishers Weekly on A Tide of Black Steel
