Summary

The follow-up to the sensational #1 Sunday Times bestseller Her Majesty’s Royal Coven

All is not as it seems within the halls of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven…

Despite thinking they’ve thwarted the prophecy, the witches are still reeling from the events of the past few months.

Ciara now occupies her twin sister’s body as she prepares to take on the role of High Priestess. But why are the sinister government agents of the Shadow Cabinet so invested in her coronation?

And then there’s the small matter of Dabney Hale: freshly escaped from Grierlings prison, he’s on the hunt for a mythical object that will give him unimaginable power. Leonie’s brother is on the trail, but doesn’t know the danger he now faces, and so she sets off to bring him home and bring Hale to justice.

Meanwhile, Theo and Holly are left to their own devices. Theo to work out how her miraculous transformation took place and Holly to discover what’s going on with her mum and dad. Elle’s Instagram-perfect world is about to come crashing down in the most terrifying way.

Payback’s a witch as Ciara, Leonie, Elle, Theo and Holly are about to find out.

Fantastic book!

Loved how the stories from book 1 became more complex and interwoven, especially Luke’s back-story. Also a great audio performance with a range of accents and voices that felt believable

Compelling

Sometimes a trilogy can sag in the middle. Not this. Gripped me all the way, twisting turning fantastic characters and excellently narrated. Loved every second can't wait for the next!

incredible binge read

Loved the first book and this one was just as good if not better.
Juno Dawson is a talented writer and Nicola Coughlan is stellar as a narrator - I want her to read all audio books!
I powered through this so quickly, highly recommend.

WOW, I have no words

This was phenomenal, what twists and turns. An amazing journey for Ciara in particular!

I didn’t much love the first book, Nicola’s narration got me through it to an extent & tempted me to give the second a go. This has knocked the first book completely out of the park.

I cannot wait for the third instalment! Although I understand we will be waiting a year for it :(

Wow! Just Wow!

Gripping, intense, emotional and a whirlwind of characters, stories and events. What a way to continue on from Her Majesty's Royal Coven!

I was so excited to return to Hebden Bridge and to the coven, and I was not disappointed! Though, in my opinion, not as strong as the first installment the Shadow Cabinet still packs a punch both in narrative and characters. As always, Nicola, the narrator, was superb. Her performance is dynamic and engaging, while always retaining clarity for each character.
