About the book:

War rages, loyalties are tested, and love is more perilous than ever in this thrilling and eagerly awaited sequel to the breakout hit METAL SLINGER.

It’s been four years since Jovie betrayed Acker, fracturing their relationship. Her decision to take King Edmond’s magic, sparing his life at Acker’s request, has sparked a brutal war. The Kenta and Strou forces ally against the Roison and Alaha, with Maile perched dangerously on the edge of their battles.

Jovie is determined to keep the innocent Maile people from a conflict she helped start—even if it means suppressing the Matching Bond and sacrificing any hope of repairing her relationship with Acker. Yet, visions of him continue to haunt her dreams.

Acker is resigned to aid in his father’s war while in an arranged marriage with a wife who detests him. Though still pained by Jovie’s deception, he can’t stop his thoughts from turning to her. And Acker has found a way to slip into Jovie’s dreams despite her attempts to stifle the Matching Bond. There he watches her, torn between his loyalties and desire.

When he discovers the chilling reason behind the return of his father's magic, as well as Edmond’s dangerous new alliance, Acker must finally decide which war he wants to fight: the one for his king or the one for his heart.

About the author:

RACHEL SCHNEIDER lives in South Louisiana with her husband and daughter. She loves curse words, crawfish, and all things romance.

About the moderators:

Caitlyn is an avid Romantasy reader who loves getting lost in magical worlds and torturous slow burn romances. When her nose isn't stuck in a book she's creating content about said books, or chasing around her two daughters and trying to get them to love magic as much as she does.

Kayla is a book lover and SAG-AFTRA actor. She loves to read fantasy, dark, and contemporary romance, falls into obsession with the books she loves, lives for books with yearning, and becomes insufferable about getting her friends and followers to read her favorite books too. For some inexplicable reason she loves authors who cause her mental and emotional anguish while reading. This bio might be a cry for help.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Rachel Schneider, Caitlyn Taylor, Kayla Summers, and your local independent bookstore!
