Books like Bane and Shadow: Book Two of Empire of Storms by Jon Skovron
Red is being trained by the biomancers to become a cold‑blooded assassin, and as he delves deeper into palace intrigue he realizes that even life among the nobility can be lethal. Meanwhile, Hope, who terrorizes the empire’s ships as the pirate Dire Bane, discovers a chilling biomancer plot whose scope dwarfs the massacre of her childhood village. With the biomancers tightening their grip of fear over the realm, Hope and Red must navigate their new roles and responsibilities, but the stakes—and the cost—grow far greater than they ever imagined.
