Book Two of The Borikén Saga
By Bryan Giusti Martinelli — The Gilded Grimoire Author Collab

Puerto Rico is still burning.

Months after the events of The Ruin of Encanto, Benjamin Giusti rises from the ashes as more myth than man—rallying survivors, igniting rebellion, and daring to defy the monstrous force tightening its grip on the island. But hope is fragile in a land haunted by ghosts, radiation storms, broken loyalties, and the sharp memory of everything he’s lost.

When alliances fracture and cities fall, Benjamin leads a mass exodus through the irradiated north, guiding thousands toward a dangerous salvation: the sea. From Arecibo’s burning shores to Culebra’s hurricane-torn coasts, survival becomes war, and war becomes prophecy. And the tides of history drag deep.

But even as the world crumbles around him, Benjamin battles something even more devastating—grief, longing, brotherhood turned rivalry, and the weight of becoming the kind of leader his people need… or the kind of man he fears he’s turning into.

And let’s be honest:
✨ This book is a ride.
Cliffhangers. Naval combat. Found family. A whole underground Taíno civilization led by women. A dog sidekick. Brothers at war. Pirates. Ghosts. Accidental love triangle. Prophecy. Pain. Boundaries. Humor. And the MMC who keeps grieving his wife like he’s ripping your heart out on every page.

As a reader? I fangirled hard. Marcos AND Benjamin own me. The love triangle? Insane. The emotional restraint? Deadly. The evolution from Book 1? Chef’s kiss. This is such a powerful step up that you can’t help but crave Book 3 the moment you finish.
