Poison from a Scorpion's Sting

The Age of Fire continues in Poison of a Scorpion's Sting (book two).

The Nez'kali has failed.

Slate's actions are to blame. Without Adahai to advocate for Fire's return, no one protested in the streets. There is only one day before the Age of Fire, and the Nez'kali is near death and under the scrutiny of the Council of Elders. Can Slate convince Wasii Pon Ruwa that Nokhum is not a danger to the people?

"We run. We hide. We lie." Nokhum and Atnu are not received as heroes after their Whisperwood misadventure. Still, they are called to appear at the festival of New Spring, the same night the Age of Fire begins.

Will Chaos prevail as the Oracles foretold?
