    About this audiobook

    Romantic intrigue and electric action fill the gripping sequel to The Tiger at Midnight, a world inspired by ancient Indian history and Hindu mythology. Perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir and Victoria Aveyard.

    A stolen throne. A lost princess. A rescue mission to take back what’s theirs.

    For Kunal and Esha, finally working together as rebels, the upcoming Sun Mela provides the perfect guise for infiltrating King Vardaan’s vicious court. Kunal returns to his role as dedicated soldier, while Esha uses her new role as adviser to Prince Harun to seek allies for their rebel cause. A radical plan is underfoot to rescue Jansa’s long-lost Princess Reha—the key to the throne.

    But amidst the Mela games and glittering festivities, much more dangerous forces lie in wait. With the rebel’s entry into Vardaan’s court, a match has been lit, and long-held secrets will force Kunal and Esha to reconsider their loyalties—to their countries and to each other.

    Getting into the palace was the easy task; coming out together will be a battle for their lives. In book two of Swati Teerdhala’s epic fantasy trilogy, a kingdom will fall, a new ruler will rise, and all will burn.

      "The Archer at Dawn" is an amazing sequel to "The Tiger at Midnight". In my opinion, the story in TAAD is more "everything" than the previous book - all in a good way! I am enjoying the series and cannot wait to read the next sequel. Highly recommend!!

      This is the sequel to The Tiger at Midnight, a book I bought in Union Station while waiting for the train home sometime last year.  A fantasy set in a South Indian culture, with Esha, “the viper”, an orphan of a coup, and Kunal, a diligent soldier of the army of the coup leader, becoming romantically involved.  In this tale, Esha comes to a grand celebration as the ward of one of the warring lords, and is engaged in gossip and espionage at a grand ball, while Kunal fights in ceremonial contests, eventually winning.  They are both there, with the secret group "The Swords" in a plot to rescue a princess who can restore a mythic bond between the land and people, that was broken by the coup.  The broken bond has caused drought.  There are many twists and turns, the princess is a fake, and the woman who truly has the power escapes with Kunal.  Now Esha is back in her role as viper and commander. The action slowed while Esha flirted and pried, but picked up at the end.
