Rebel warrior Roselle St. Sismode returns in the second book of the epic Secondborn series by USA Today bestselling author Amy A. Bartol.

In the Fates Republic…
Firstborns reign supreme.
Secondborns kneel in servitude.
Thirdborns face death.
And Census shadows them all.

Secondborn Roselle St. Sismode was pressed into military service to battle the rebel uprising threatening the society that enslaves her. Now, powerful factions conspire to subvert the lines of succession, positioning Roselle to replace her mother as leader of the Republic’s armed forces. But the woman who bore her would sooner see Roselle dead than let her usurp her firstborn brother’s command.

The deadly war of intrigue between her new masters and her ruthless family is but one conflict challenging Roselle. A soldier for the rebellion has drawn her into a rogue army’s plot to overthrow the Republic and shatter its brutal caste system. Targeted by assassins and torn between allies, Roselle will have her loyalty, love, and honor tested in the greatest battle of—and for—her life.

Why I can't wait for this one!

Okay, so I'm a HUGE sucker for UTTERLY GORGEOUS covers. I am just visually gifted to a high degree, lol. And when those covers are accompanied by a kick-butt plot that includes a b***ss female protagonist, well. The book is sold, as far as this reader is concerned!! 
 As usual, I found out about all of this AWESOMENESS when I came across one of the sequels in a series! Well, in this case, I think I caught it just in time! This is only the second book, after all! Haha!! I'm still in time to catch up!  I can actually HEAR all of the other books patiently waiting on my TBR shelves GROANING in total despair, too.....
(This is irrelevant, of course, but don't you think this author looks like Madonna?)

Here's the previous book in this 

exciting series!! Click on the

cover for the Goodreads page.

I am a graduate of Hillsdale College, and live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons.  My family is very supportive of my writing.  They often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner.  They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re real.  They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats.  They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making.  They have learned to accept my "writing uniform" consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants.  And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them.  In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed.
