It had been two years since Rae escaped enslavement under General Yada at the Temple of Pahga. Keeping a low profile in the besieged city of Yekel, Rae survived on the money she made through her male alter ego, the Crimson Cord, an undefeated pit fighter in Yekel’s Dark Market. Her façade threatens to crack when the General traces her and blackmails her into a task. Yada wants Rae to get him information about a recently escaped Seer, or else he will harm her friend Nadia. However, by attending to Yada’s task, Rae sees an opportunity to bargain for the freedom of the women at the temple, along with hers and Nadia’s safety. With the emergence of a new fighter taking her title in the pit, and the deadline for Yada’s end of the deal fast approaching, what will be Rae and Nadia's fate? Find out in V. Romas Burton’s Justified.

Once this page-turner draws you in, it latches on like a vice, unshakeable and relentless until the final word. V. Romas Burton’s Justified is a must-read for lovers of young adult dark fantasy novels flavored with action, adventure, drama, a hint of romance, suspense, spell-binding cliffhangers, and jaw-dropping plot twists. Featuring fascinating, dynamic characters, Burton weaves an intriguing plot that unfolds through a multi-perspective storyline. Burton brings the scenes to life on the pages with evocative, cinematic depictions. The sharp, lively, character-driven, and nuanced dialogue gave insight into the cast’s conflicts, emotions, and complex traits, allowing me to connect with them. This is an incredible second installment in the Legacy Chapters series. I loved it. I’ll be on the lookout for other installments.
