In the second installment of C.L. Clark's Magic of the Lost trilogy, soldier Touraine and princess Luca must return to Balladaire to reclaim Luca's throne and to face the consequences of dismantling an empire.The rebels have won, and the empire is withdrawing from Qazal. But undoing the tangled web that binds the two nations will not be easy, and Touraine and Luca will face their greatest challenge yet.Luca needs to oust her uncle from the Balladairan throne once and for all and take her rightful place as Queen. But he won't let go of power so easily. When he calls for a "Trial of Competence" and Luca's allies start disappearing from her side, she will need to find a way to prove her might. And she knows someone who can help...Touraine has found a home in the newly free country of Qazal. But she soon realizes that leading a country and leading a revolution are two very different tasks. And, even more importantly, if Luca's uncle doesn't ratify the treaty, the Qazali could end up right back where they started. Together, the two women will have to come overcome their enemies, their history, and their heartbreak in order to find a way to secure Luca's power and Touraine's freedom.

Published Reviews

Library Journal Review

Almost a year after the events in Qazal, Luca is still attempting to gather support for her ascension to the Balladairan throne, held by her uncle. Luca desperately tries to bring a Qazali delegate to Balladaire to negotiate the treaty for its independence, hoping it will be her former lover, Touraine. Touraine would like nothing more than to stay away from politics, but the unrest of the rain rebellion continues inside the fledgling Qazali council, along with the strain of losses and perversions of faith. Sent as an ambassador, Touraine must return to Balladaire and face her conscripted upbringing, devious politics, and the feelings she and Luca still have. Luca must fight for her place on the throne and will learn that the magic she desperately seeks to bring back to her empire may cost far more than she ever believed. Clark's worldbuilding and magic systems continue to grow, introducing new factions and characters that will hopefully show up again. VERDICT The sequel to The Unbroken extends the deliberate journey towards independence from an empire and the past, and the love in two women's hearts.--Kristi Chadwick
