Gripped by a tyrant king and in the thrall of dark magic, the kingdom is in peril. 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're going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth's head: the Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.

Readers say *Two Twisted Crowns* delivers a gripping, atmospheric fantasy with richly developed characters and deep emotional stakes. Reviewers praise...
After reading the first book, the second was just as good!
This book was a true delight! The author's writing style in this one allowed me to connect with each character on a deeper level, especially Elm, whom I simply fell in love with. It's inspiring to see how a great writer can create such a profound impact through their words.
I'm so excited to read more from this author! I'm a little sad to finish this book though because I'll miss the characters. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who's looking for a good fantasy book with a touch of romance and no fairies.

Book 2 was just a little slow to start for me, but I ended up LOVING it. One thing I really missed in this one were all the little rhymes, but the magic system was still incredibly interesting & unique so that aspect remained. I LOVED Elm and Ione. I actually felt like their connection was more formed than Elspeth and Ravyn’s. I actually felt like Elspeth and the Nightmare had a stronger love than they did
I’m going to miss these characters so much! I completely fell for them and loved this duology. The story was incredible and felt new and fresh. The ending was just how I like it where everything was settled and the lovers were in love. The twist with taxus being related to Ravyn was something I didn’t expect but really enjoyed. Ravyns yearning was incredible. Also loved the somewhat twisted relationship that grew between nightmare and everyone else. The writing was poetic and beautiful. Elm and Ione are so precious. I wish we got a little more elsbeth and Ravyn but the elm and ione made up for it. 10/10 will also read a Rachel Gillig.
Even better than the first book in this duet!
