The struggle to save the plague-ridden kingdoms continues in this captivating second novel in the Whispers from Mirrowen series.
The orphan Phae has kept her innate ability secret since she was young. Not only does she possess the dangerous fireblood, but she can also steal the memories of anyone who looks into her eyes.
Phae has no idea that her combination of powers is extraordinary. She is the unwitting key to discovering the secret origin of the plagues…and she is also now a target. The ruthless Arch-Rike of Kenatos has sent his most menacing servant—the Quiet Kishion—to destroy her.
As Phae struggles to wield her powers and escape her pursuers, a team of allies has already been dispatched on a quest to end the plagues. Some face the horrors in the Arch-Rike’s secret lair, while others search for the fabled lost Shatalin temple.
The determined allies must square off against the Arch-Rike, who is ever steadfast in his aim to kill Phae…and let the plagues rage on.

Enthralling read. Wheeler is constantly keeping the reader guessing as to the motives and loyalties of his characters. He has thrown in enough plot twists to keep us distrustful. He has gathered a broad spectrum of characters by this second book but manages to keep us caring for each. There is plenty of action to propel the story forward but these books are more based in philosophy and reason. I enjoy the challenge of solving the puzzle with the pieces he gives the characters and hope to arrive at the correct conclusion before they do!I especially like the subtle relationship developments between the characters. The only one that seems a little unrealistic is the relationship between phae and her father. I don't know what it would be like to meet a father after 16 years but I imagine she would have strong and conflicting emotions. Wheeler does address it but not in depth. However, it doesn't distract from the story, on the contrary, a think dwelling on it would weigh the story down. He focuses where the focus needs to be, with furthering the complicated plot, revealing slowly the pieces of information needed to unravel the mystery around the arch-Rike
Wheeler also manages to skillfully insert gems of wisdom without sounding preachy. I enjoyed his vast collection of clever sayings used by the Romani. It's hard to keep track of all his different cultures but they are reasonably well fleshed out. Some of his cultures respect life, others knowledge. He weaves a complicated example of the interconnectedness of nations and economies.
This is a great series. I highly recommend it.

A prophecy of a mysterious , hidden girl is rumored to have the power to stop the plague but the villains are on her trail. Tyrus sends one of his friends to rescue her but she is young and frightened and runs away. The villain's chief assassin is on her trail and he is unstoppable. OR is he? This story continues the quest of Tyrus to stop the plague but more obstacles and foes enter the scene as the comrades prepare to enter the Scourgelands to stop the plague .
Many mysteries are revealed in this book and be prepared for plot twists and surprises.
I find this series to be everything I would expect from Jeff Wheeler. It is exciting, horrifying, amazing, and yet there is hope.
Where the first book, Fireblood, had lots of lagging and kinda boring detail, Dryad-Born had lots more action and thus was far more engaging. This begins right were it ended with the various characters separating and going on their various missions given to them by Tyrus in the hopes of all converging again once they all have what they need to enter the Scourgelands and end the plague.
This book introduces us to two very important new characters, Phae and the Quiet Kishion **MINOR SPOILERS BELOW**
The Kishion is an assassin who is completely impervious to pretty much everything (fire, arrows, blades, poison) and cannot be killed. He initially is sent by the villainous Arch-Rike to either capture or kill Phae; capture and bring her to him if he can or kill her if he has to. He inexplicably feels the urge to protect Phae and seems to find something about her familiar but due to his memory being taken he remembers nothing about who he is, what he is, and why he wants to protect Phae. He's a man who has slaughtered hundreds in service to the Rike and believes that the Rike removes his memories so that he doesn't have to suffer the guilt of his murderous actions (which proves to be a lie later). The Kishion eventually abandons the Rike, instead choosing to protect Phae at all costs and hopes to somehow regain his memories. The idea of regaining his memories is an internal struggle he goes back and forth on throughout the book. On the one hand, he wants to know who and what he is and what he's done but on the other hand, he fears knowing all the heinous acts he's committed in service to the Rike and is terrified he will not able to withstand the guilt of all that he's done.
Phae is 16 year old girl with powers she doesn't understand. She posses the ability known as "fireblood" that allows her to create flames and the ability to steal memories from anyone who looks her in the eye (she can control if/when she steals memories. its not automatic). She is uncertain where her abilities come from. Towards the beginning of the book, Phae is told who and what she in and over the course of the book she is forced to decide whether to reject what she is (and thus damning all of mankind) or accept what she and make a sacrifice that will end the plague and save millions. For the longest time, she sees the decision she has to make as unfair (which it kinda is, I mean she's only 16 and the fate of mankind rests on her) and just wants to go back to her simple life. After being captured by The Kishion, she begins to realize that he's not the thoughtless murderer he's been forced to be due to his lack of memory. She ultimately vows to help him regain his memories.
I don't want to provide any further details from the story so as not to ruin any revelations so I'll just say that this book did what the first didnt.....grabbed my attention within the first few pages and kept it for the entirety of the book. It is leaps and bounds better than the first and only gets better in the final book of the trilogy.
