The Burning Kingdoms Tome 3
The Lotus Empire

Tasha Suri's acclaimed Burning Kingdoms trilogy comes to a heart-stopping conclusion in The Lotus Empire as an ancient magic returns and two powerful women must either destroy each other... or change an empire for ever. Malini has claimed her rightful throne as the Empress of Parijatdvipa, just as the nameless god prophesied. Now, in order to gain the support of the disloyal priesthood, she must consider a terrible bargain : claim her throne and burn in order to seal her legacy - or find another who is willing to take her place on the pyre.
Priya has survived the deathless waters and now their magic runs in her veins. But a mysterious yaksa with flowering eyes and a mouth of thorns lies beneath the waters. The yaksa promises protection for her people. But in exchange, Priya must make the ultimate sacrifice. When an ancient enemy rises to threaten their world, Priya and Malini will find themselves fighting together once more - to prevent their kingdoms, and their futures, from burning to ash.
