Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister's life.
When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn's capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she's been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination.
The forge has always been Ziva's safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she's not sure just how much of herself she'll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she's been trying to stop.
Mini Review:
Master of Iron by Tricia Levenseller is the sequel to Blade of Secrets. This book was just as good as the first book. Ziva has a better grip on her anxiety. The characters really drive the story. It was great seeing how each character has grown even if only a little…*cough Temra cough*. The anxiety rep is well written and I enjoyed seeing this written into a fantasy novel. The plot and pacing were a bit off but since this was more character driven, I didn’t notice too much.
