A review by laurenjrichards
Guardian of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Diane Mallis

5.0

As the second installment of the daughter of the drowned empire series, this book kept me hooked until the end & I can’t wait for the next book. I loved Lyrs growth between the first book & the second and can’t wait to see where she goes in the rest of the series. The tension between Lyr and Rhyan is top tier. The Egypt/Roman influence on the book is clearly felt & is really interesting. If you enjoy books with forbidden romance, slow burn, who did this to you, taking care of wounds, forbidden magic, secret society, and a smart fmc who isn’t a damsel in distress this book is for you.
