Crown of Flames by Sayantani DasGupta

From New York Times bestselling author Sayantani DasGupta comes the
sequel to the critically-acclaimed Force of Fire
Pinki never expected to be the leader of the resistance -- in fact, she’s gone on
record spitting at the idea. But as domination and persecution of rakkosh
continues, she summons her courage for a triumphant return to reluctant
leadership in this thrilling sequel.
Readers will be brought back into the fantastical world of the Kingdom Beyond,
where there are always serpents to fight, riddles to solves, and a corrupt
government to overthrow.

Sayantani DasGupta is the New York Times bestselling author of the critically
acclaimed, Bengali folktale and string theory-inspired Kiranmala and the Kingdom
Beyond books, the first of which -- The Serpent's Secret -- was a Bank Street Best
Book of the Year, a Booklist Best Middle Grade Novel of the 21st Century, and an
E. B. White Read Aloud Honor Book. She is also the author of Debating Darcy, a
contemporary young adult reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Sayantani is a pediatrician by training, but now teaches at Columbia University.
When she's not writing or reading, Sayantani spends time watching cooking shows
with her trilingual children and protecting her black Labrador retriever Khushi
from the many things that scare him, including plastic bags. She is a team member
of We Need Diverse Books, and can be found online at sayantanidasgupta.com and
