Scorched Earth

""Jensen tosses readers right back into the action. . . A big, bold send-off for beloved characters.""--Kirkus Reviews Praise for the Dark Shores series: ""Richly-woven, evocative, and absolutely impossible to put down--I was hooked from the first lines! Dark Shores has everything I look for in a fantasy novel: fresh, unique settings, a cast of complex and diverse characters, and an unflinching boldness with the nuanced world-building. I loved every word.""--Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""The book grabs readers from the beginning with its stellar worldbuilding and multidimensional characters. . . . A gripping introduction to a new series.""--Kirkus Reviews (starred) ""This epic first installment in a new series from Jensen features stunning worldbuilding, a vivid cast of secondary characters, and a steamy slow-burn romance between two exceedingly competent and compelling heroes. Dark Shores is not one to miss.""--Booklist ""This is a lush, imaginative world, and as the focus shifts between Teriana and Marcus, it becomes clear that the readers are only getting a glimpse of its complicated history and mythology.... Their secrets don't, of course, stop Teriana and Marcus from embarking on a steamy romance, and fans of Rutkoski's sighworthy The Winner's Kiss and the high-stakes sea adventure of Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King will want to know where Marcus and Teriana journey to next."" --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books ""The plot's twists and turns and fantastical elements add to the allure of this thrilling story. Exhilarating fantasy-adventure romance for fans of Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King, Alexandra Christo's To Kill a Kingdom, or Natalie C. Parker's Seafire. Readers will eagerly await the next book in the series.""--School Library Journal
