The Tanyuin Academy #2
Into the Unreal
Young and powerful, they finally have the chance to make peace... or war.
Firian Kess, now Head of the Tanyuin Academy, sets his sights on winning over the girl he once took hostage: Kiria Arioc, Keeper of the Western Kingdom. But power always takes its toll. Firian's better impulses wage a losing war against his desire for control. Longing for more power, he uncovers a deadly ability in the Unreal that jeopardizes his alliances and his humanity.
Facing manipulation at home and war abroad, Kiria's bold choice to work with the Tanyu, their former enemies, makes her a political target even as she fights her growing feelings for the handsome but selfish Firian.
With violent enemies threatening both their reigns, they struggle to maintain the fragile peace they find with each other. Despite their efforts, darkness threatens to consume them, putting everyone they care about in mortal danger.
Dark and surprising, this sequel asks how far you can go before you become the very monster you're fighting.

This book was intense! Definitely unpredictable and exciting every step of the way. Full of twists and turns that you don’t see coming! Pretty dark but also hopeful. It left me hanging on the edge of my seat! I can’t wait for the third book!

Part 2 of the tanyuin academy was just as good as the first. Maybe even better. I absolutely adore every character and can not wait to read part 3. Firian kiria bard and Belik are all absolutely amazing. This is such a beautifully written story. Carly Stephens has such a wonderful fascinating imagination. I am so excited to see more from her!!!

Loved it. It was just as good as the first though like with the first there were lots of parts that just seemed to drag on and felt unnecessary.
I’m excited to read book three but I’m hopeful that the filler is left out of that book.
The character development in these books is amazing and I love watching that unfold.

I absolutely loved this book and haven’t been able to put it down! The author has created a world that is so original and exciting and characters whose inner dialogues I really resonated with. We can all see ourselves in their struggles to find their place in the world. I can’t wait to find out what’s next for Kiria and Firian!
