About The Oleander Sword

For readers who loved The Jasmine Throne's slow-burn queer romance and political complexity and want both to intensify. Priya and Malini face war and open rebellion as their unlikely alliance is tested by impossible expectations and enemies on every side. Priya must master the dangerous nature magic flowing through her while Malini navigates court politics that could unravel everything they have built together. Tasha Suri writes political fantasy with as much care for her characters' inner lives as for the battles around them. The second Burning Kingdoms novel is grander, darker, and more emotionally costly than the first.
