Two years after fleeing the enslavement of Kadeshian general, General Yada, Rae Salvar does all she can to survive the besieged city of Yekel.

While her work at the outer wall and business selling scarves keep her from poverty, her secret identity as the Crimson Cord, a street fighter in Yekel’s Dark Market, is what Rae enjoys the most. But when General Yada threatens Rae and demands she finds the recently escaped Seer, Devora Medee, Rae is desperate to do anything to locate the Seer and give her over to the general and Kadesh.

However, a mysterious fighter enters the Dark Market and defeats Rae. With her undefeated title ruined and her life crumbling around her, Rae begins to wonder if the path she’s on will lead to her freedom from Kadesh or her destruction.

Book 2 of the The Legacy Chapters series.

Review of Justified

Thanks to quick pacing with a side of romance in this expanding world, Justified explores deep biblical themes inspired by the title.
· June 2025

Rae escaped a life of temple slavery. Now she sells scarves in the market and fights as the Crimson Cord in the Dark Market to save other women trapped in the temple. But when the man who trapped Rae tells her one way to free all the others, is Rae willing to accept his bargain? V. Romas Burton’s fantasy Justified is book 2 in The Legacy Chapters series. Thanks to quick pacing with a side of romance in this expanding world, Justified explores deep biblical themes inspired by the title, contrasting fictional pagan gods with the grace of the true God.

Best for: Teen and young adult fans of epic fantasy with political intrigue and a dash of biblical inspiration.

Discern: Heroine is a recovering survivor from sexual abuse, not described in detail, but a significant influence in her character arc that is referenced throughout the book; several combat scenes, primarily in a gladiator setting.
