Description

A Curse to Break. A Fate to Unravel. A Soul on the Edge of Ruin.

Kharis is haunted by a thousand-year-old curse that binds her to a fire demon. Her mind teeters on the edge of madness, and her body carries the echoes of a destructive power she can barely contain. To break her curse and free her sister, she must brave the treacherous world of the ancient immortals, outwit the scheming Aghet Mendi, and face the truth Itzu—her fiercest guardian—has long kept from her. When she finally stands before the powerful Akumi king, will he offer salvation—or obliteration?

As fate draws near, Kharis must choose whether to preserve her soul… or sacrifice it all to end the cycle of ruin.

Darkly lyrical and emotionally fierce, The Dandelion Tree, Part Two is a literary high fantasy that blends mythic resonance, soul-deep introspection, and slow-burn tension. This is a character-driven story for readers who prefer character to combat, consequence to spectacle, and prose that lingers long after the page is turned.

Kharis’s journey unfolds—layered, deliberate, and full of aching humanity. In this third installment of The Dandelion Chronicles series, every choice draws Kharis closer to a fate that may have been written before time began.

Advance Praise

Dazzling characters navigate this magic-infused tale of gallantry and resolve. - Kirkus Reviews

"The Dandelion Tree, Part Two" is a beautifully written, emotionally resonant epic fantasy for those who love lyrical prose and deep, character-driven stories. It is an excellent continuation of the series that delivers on its promise of mythic scope and profound introspection.
Thanks Netgalley for the arc. - Sandra A., NetGalley Reviewer 

This book was incredible. From the first chapter, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down. The writing is beautiful and emotional, and the twist genuinely surprised me. Kharis is a powerful and relatable character. Her struggle with the curse, her grief, and the choices she faces kept me fully invested. The world feels dark and mythic, but it’s the emotional depth that really stands out. If you love character-driven fantasy with rich writing and real stakes, I highly recommend reading this. I’m already looking forward to the next one. - Rachel C., NetGalley Reviewer

Political and personal stakes, romantic tension, spiritual dread, mythic weight, and human vulnerability are all grounded in lush, lyrical, and precise prose. – Reviewer.

Kharis and Itzu capture the soul of the tragic, fated love. “The Night Circus” meets “Radiance” (Grace Draven) with a whisper of “The Song of Achilles” in tone. - Reviewer

A book for the discerning reader who wants their heart broken and rebuilt. – Reviewer

An extraordinary inversion of “The Chosen One” trope. The MFC is here to destroy the world, not save it. - Reviewer

Deeply immersive, emotionally resonant, and narratively cohesive fantasy. We don’t get this these days. – Reviewer

Fantasy with the kind of internal peril that will satisfy readers of immersive fantasy like “The Goblin Emperor” or “Ninth House.”

The Dandelion Tree is what happens if N.K. Jemisin and Madeline Miller told an epic about power, prophecy, and the fragile beauty of being mortal.
