About this listen

'Enthralling from beginning to shocking end' Hannah Whitten, bestselling author of For the Wolf

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER**

In the luscious, dark conclusion to the series that began with One Dark Window, Elspeth must face the consequences of what she's wrought - perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

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 are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom.

And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.

Two Twisted Crowns was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller on week of publication in the US.

Really enjoyed both books. Something different, amazing storytelling, very cool main character. I loved that I didn’t know what was coming, I find many books predictable. Really amazing listen, honestly recommend

Really enjoyed this well crafted tale. This is Book 2 of 2 and neither book disappoints, the story has immediately become a firm favourite of mine.

I love how every character gets the time and attention to be a valuable part of the story, I loved the world and folklore Rachel Gillig has created, the rhyming riddles, the humour, the sadness, the now and the then. All of it was truly captivating and I look forward to the author's next story.

This story had everything I crave from a fantasy book: good plot, interesting characters unique world building, magic and action. It had everything. A great listen and a great book. Looking forward for more works of this author

Best story I have read this year

Love the world building, gothic fantasy and atmospheric writing, great side characters take more of a centre stage which makes it surpass the first book - much quicker pacing and overall great story! The narrator does a great job, can't fault it. Definitely recommend!

Perfect sequel
