The Night Crowns Reckoning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739643447)

Desperate for vengeance. Fuelled by rage.

After a disastrous coronation that left Orison and a handful of citizens banished from the castle in the dead of winter, a mysterious shield stands in the way of her claiming her throne. Determined to save her people, Orison must figure out how to take down the shield and plan an ambush against the man claiming to be king.

Though challenges unnumbered delay her success, Orison refuses to give up. Even when the price of magic has wrought a terrifying creature to turn on Orison's country and attack them at night fall, leaving the population in turmoil and cities in ruin. It's a race against the clock before her country ceases to exist.

While preparing for conflict, Orison battles to gain control of newfound power and show the false king she isn't somebody to be messed with. Yet her plan she worked hard to forge is tested to the limits when a rash decision plunges them into battle prematurely. Disaster is imminent and Orison's life hangs in the balance.
