The Perilous Sea

Elemental Trilogy #2 / 3
by Sherry Thomas
The Perilous Sea (Elemental Trilogy #2) by Sherry Thomas
Unrated

From acclaimed author Sherry Thomas comes the striking sequel to The Burning Sky, book two in the Elemental Trilogy, for fans of Cinda Williams Chima, Rae Carson, and Kristin Cashore.

After spending the summer away from each other, Titus and Iolanthe (still disguised as Archer Fairfax) are eager to return to Eton College to resume their training to fight the Bane. Although no longer bound to Titus by a blood oath, Iolanthe is more committed than ever to fulfilling her destiny — especially with the agents of Atlantis quickly closing in.

Soon after arriving at school, though, Titus makes a shocking discovery, one that makes him question everything he previously believed about their mission. Faced with this devastating realization, Iolanthe is forced to come to terms with her new role, while Titus must choose between following his mother's prophecies — and forging a divergent path to an unknowable future.

Sherry Thomas brings her trademark blend of dazzling magic, heartbreaking romance, and exciting action in this striking sequel to The Burning Sky.

Sherry Thomas

Sherry Thomas’s writing journey is a story of passion, persistence, and transformation. Born in Qingdao, China, and raised in the United States, she became fluent in English by immersing herself in the very genres she would come to master: romance and science fiction. Inspired by the works of authors like Isaac Asimov, Thomas’s early reading shaped her storytelling, laying the foundation for a career that spans both historical romance and young adult fantasy.

Sherry's foray into the literary world began with Private Arrangements, which was met with widespread acclaim and became a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008. This success marked the beginning of a remarkable career in historical romance, where she quickly garnered a reputation for her intricate plots, emotional depth, and richly developed characters. Her work has earned her numerous accolades, including two prestigious RITA® Awards from Romance Writers of America, solidifying her as one of the foremost voices in romance today.

But Thomas is far from content with sticking to one genre. Her venture into young adult fantasy with The Burning Sky, the first book in the Elemental Trilogy, brought a fresh perspective to the genre, blending her love for world-building and complex storytelling. While the Elemental Trilogy has received critical praise, her Lady Sherlock series is where she truly shines in her ability to weave compelling mysteries with historical settings. In this reimagining of Sherlock Holmes, Thomas introduces Charlotte Holmes—a brilliant detective in a world of societal constraints—who has captivated readers with her sharp intellect and intricate cases. The series, which began with A Study in Scarlet Women, has been lauded for its unique blend of detective fiction, historical accuracy, and feminist undertones.

Thomas’s writing is defined by her ability to balance character-driven narratives with compelling plotlines, and her distinctive voice resonates deeply with fans of both romance and mystery. Each of her books, from historical romances to her young adult fantasies and mysteries, invites readers into fully realized worlds where emotions run deep and characters come to life with each page.

Currently residing in Austin, Texas, Sherry continues to write with the same passion and precision that has made her a favorite among readers worldwide. She balances her career with her family life, where her son remains her biggest fanboy, particularly of her young adult fantasy novels. As she continues to expand her literary horizons, Sherry Thomas remains a unique and influential voice in the world of storytelling, whether unraveling the mysteries of a Victorian detective or exploring the boundaries of magic and fate.
