by Renée Ahdieh

Smoke in the Sun is the highly anticipated sequel to New York Times bestselling Flame in the Mist. This addictive and sumptuous finale will leave readers breathless, penned by the bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn, Renée Ahdieh.

After Okami is captured in the Jukai forest, Mariko has no choice but to rescue him. To do so, she must return to Inako and face the dangers that have been waiting for her in the Heian Castle. Mariko deceives her brother, Kenshin, and her betrothed, Raiden, into believing she was being held by the Black Clan against her will. She plays the part of the dutiful bride-to-be to infiltrate the emperor's ranks and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that almost left her dead.

As the wedding plans progress, Mariko pretends to be consumed with her upcoming nuptials, while using her royal standing to peel back the layers of lies and deception surrounding the imperial court. But with each secret she uncovers, a new one emerges, ensnaring Mariko and Okami in a political scheme that threatens their honor, their love, and the very safety of the empire.
