Two Twisted Crowns is the stunning conclusion to The Shepherd King duology.

Elspeth and Rayvn continue their quest to gather all twelve Providence cards. They must venture far into the mist to obtain the final Providence card, the Twin Alders. But, only one person can lead them to the final card; the monster in Elspeth’s head. Will they make it before Solstice to save the kingdom, or will dark magic overtake the land?

If you enjoyed One Dark Window, you’ll absolutely love Two Twisted Crowns. The brilliant and unique magic system is explored further, there is vigorous action, heart wrenching betrayals, quests for revenge, and not one, but two romances.  

I enjoyed every moment of this book.  There was fantastic character growth, and the writing was beautiful. Every choice made by the author felt so intentional.  The plot was incredibly well crafted and it was the perfect ending to this duology.  This story is going to stick with me for a long time. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit Books for the ARC.
