The Lady of the Sorrows is the second book in The Bitterbynde Trilogy written by Australian author Cecilia Dart-Thornton.

Maeve One eye, the carlin who cured her, gets Imrhien a new identity: Lady Rohain Tarrenys of the Sorrow Isles.

After unloading her information with the Duke of Roxburgh, getting assigned a maid, Viviana, and enduring a strenuous dinner with the cruel, jealous Dianella, Rohain heads on a Dainnan frigate to the treasure cache at Waterstair where her friend Sianadh was killed.

However, the owner of Huntingtowers leads an attack on Isse Tower, which the King-Emperor and the Dainnan thwart.

Then Thorn is forced to go to Namarre, and despite her pleas to go with him, sends Rohain, in the company of friends, to the royal island sanctuary, Tamhania/Tavaal.
