"Stuck in a stalemate while the enemy waits for reinforcements and dances on strings pulled by a mad god, Eirian and her allies seek a way to end the war. Turning to the spirit of her ancestor who faced the same problem, the answer she gains forces Eirian to reconsider everything she thought she knew. Escorted by Celiaen, Aiden, and Galameyvin, they ride north to give her time to prepare for the fight awaiting her return.

Driven back to the army they left by the discovery of enemy siege weapons, Eirian and her companions find more people waiting for them than when they left. Celiaen's father and the army from the mage city arrived, bringing old friends with them. Among them is the future grand mage, Tessa Valkera, a woman with the ability to create solutions. Teaming up with Eirian, she devises a plan to destroy the weapons, and while they do that, they secretly work on a solution to confronting the mad god.

""Don't let them make me into a hero after I die.""

While the others try to convince her there is another way, Tessa accepts what Eirian must do to stop the god from setting the world on fire."

Reviews for Grave of Dandelions

"""A wonderful epic fantasy, which offers enough familiarity for fans of the genre while crafting a unique story. With a great plot, characters who truly shine, and a brilliant world."" -Starred Review, 5/5 ""A compelling, well thought out story which leaves you wanting more."" -Early Reader Review ""Magic of Lies is fast-paced, witty, and was instantly my new favorite fantasy series. Joyce Gee built a beautifully rich and diverse world. The Altira Series deserves a home on any fantasy lovers' bookshelf alongside George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Sarah J. Maas. With so many enchanting characters, you'll be rooting for them all. I highly recommend reading it!"" -Alex Williams, editor ""I loved Joyce Gee's debut, Magic of Lies. Princess Eirian is sent away after her birth and returns to her father's kingdom twenty years later with the expectation that she will become queen. But she is a magic user in a kingdom that does not like magic users, and her father Nolan suffers from a terrible disease that is robbing him of his memory. I loved the tension in this fantasy novel, with war looming, with the questions about King Nolan, about Eirian's magic and her worries about ascending the throne. I also really liked the friend group, and the tension with the various romantic leads, Aidan the captain of the guard and Celian. I am looking forward to book two!"" -Starred Review, 5/5 ""Magical and exciting! I can't wait for the rest of the series!"" -Cori Nevruz, thriller and suspense author"
