Summary

'Enthralling from beginning to shocking end' Hannah Whitten, bestselling author of For the Wolf

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER**

In the luscious, dark conclusion to the series that began with One Dark Window, Elspeth must face the consequences of what she's wrought - perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders.

If they are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom.

And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.

Two Twisted Crowns was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller on week of publication in the US.

nice characters, perfect duration of books

it was really good! I loved the duration of the story! only two books so you don't get the chance to get bored! maybe I'd like a bit more depth to the characters but it's a small detail!

Hauntingly Beautiful

TWO TWISTED CROWNS is a hauntingly beautiful sequel and final addition to THE SHEPHERD KING dualogy. Very, very satisfying. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait for Rachel Gillig’s next book.

Unique and amazing

Really enjoyed both books. Something different, amazing storytelling, very cool main character. I loved that I didn’t know what was coming, I find many books predictable. Really amazing listen, honestly recommend

Exquisite

Enchanting and exquisite. I cried when it was over. The writing is so poetic, the narration utterly luscious.
Easily five stars.

Perfect sequel

Love the world building, gothic fantasy and atmospheric writing, great side characters take more of a centre stage which makes it surpass the first book - much quicker pacing and overall great story! The narrator does a great job, can't fault it. Definitely recommend!

Be Weary, Be Clever, Be Good

I thoroughly enjoyed the second Shepherd King book. It completed the story well. The characters from the first book were further developed and writing kept you hooked and wanting to find out what would happen next. Great narration as before although I did giggle every time at the pronunciation of hearth.
