Two Twisted Crowns (The Shepherd King, 2)
In the New York Times bestselling sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions as she and Ravyn embark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom--perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching. 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. Praise for One Dark Window: "Enthralling from beginning to shocking end." --Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf "Pulse pounding, darkly whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic." --Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic The Shepherd King

Readers say *Two Twisted Crowns* delivers a gripping, atmospheric fantasy with richly developed characters and deep emotional stakes. Reviewers praise...
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

Sequels can so easily miss the mark. That's not the case here. Two Twisted Crowns continues the ensnaring story of Elspeth, The Nightmare, and the search for the Twin Alders. The balance between POV chapters is so well done. Usually, I'll have a preference for certain characters but I was fully immersed in everyone's chapters.
The danger feels so real. It's gripping. I usually have control of my face, but I caught my jaw dropping and eyes wide in shock or fear multiple times.
I want to read this duology for the first time, again and again.
