In a Garden Burning Gold by Rory Power digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“Fresh and original . . . full of lush writing and detailed worldbuilding . . . [with a] rich fantasy landscape and an almost Shakespearean feel.”—Paste

Twins imbued with incredible magic and near-immortality will do anything to keep their family in power—even if it tears the family apart—in the first book of a mythic epic fantasy duology from the New York Times bestselling author of
Wilder Girls.

ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022—BookPage

  
Rhea and Lexos were born into a family unlike any other. Together with their siblings, they control the seasons, the tides, and the stars, and help their father rule their kingdom. Thanks to their magic, the family has ruled for an eternity, and plan to rule for an eternity more. 
 
But Rhea and Lexos are special: They are twins, bonded down to the bone, and for the past hundred years, that bond has protected them as their father becomes an unpredictable tyrant—and his worsening temper threatens the family’s grip on power.  
 
Now, with rival nations ready to attack, and a rebel movement within their own borders, Rhea and Lexos must fight to keep the kingdom—and the family—together, even as treachery, deceit, and drama threaten to strand the twins on opposite sides of the battlefield. 
 
In a Garden Burning Gold is a vividly written, atmospheric saga that explores the limits of power and the bonds of family—and how far both can be bent before they break.

“Meh. The Reasoning for Rhea to betray her family never made sense. Even with the twist it was all just pointless. I don't care what happens next. Which says it all really.”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“While I could foreshadow a lot, there were a lot of surprises at the end of the book. I appreciated that there wasn’t one huge plot twist at the very end but around 2/3rd, it had multiple twists with plenty of room to breath. It felt like a big payoff.”
