The gorgeous and darkly compelling sequel to The Crown's Game-perfect for fans of Red Queen and
Shadow and Bone. A New York Times bestseller! Magic is growing shadows are rising and the
throne is at stake... Russia is on the brink of great change. Pasha's coronation approaches
and Vika is now the Imperial Enchanter but the role she once coveted may be more difficult-and
dangerous-than she ever expected. Pasha is grappling with his own problems-his legitimacy is in
doubt the girl he loves loathes him and he believes his best friend is dead. When a
challenger to the throne emerges-and with the magic in Russia growing rapidly-Pasha must do
whatever it takes to keep his position and protect his kingdom. For Nikolai the ending of the
Crown's Game stung deeply. Although he just managed to escape death Nikolai remains alone a
shadow hidden in a not-quite-real world of his own creation. But when he's given a second
chance at life-tied to a dark price-Nikolai must decide just how far he's willing to go to
return to the world. With revolution on the rise dangerous new magic rearing up and a tsardom
up for the taking Vika Nikolai and Pasha must fight-or face the destruction of not only
their world but also themselves.
