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.

Amazing

The story and world are original and a little different having almost something reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland about it, but only in flavour as the story itself is very different. I really enjoyed it and looked forward to each new chapter.

The world building and unique magic system of the Shepherd King duology is so unexpected and clever. The story itself has lots of twists and turns and you will fall in love with the characters.
Highly recommend!

Fantastic duology and unique magic

Loved this sequel to One Dark Window and felt it ended the story beautifully. I particularly loved the narrator of these two books. Lisa gave rich unique voices to each character and there was one small thing that I really loved. In many books, authors write “<Name> cleared his throat” and whenever that happened in these books, the narrator actually had the character clear their throat. I loved that rich little embellishment; such attention to detail in delivering a full audio story experience.

Wonderful Story & Narration

Was not expecting this unusual storyline. Loved the weaving of providence cards lore, done effortlessly.
Don't usually enjoy multiple viewpoints, but in this instance it really worked and I wanted to hear more from each character.
The narration was good, although some strange pronunciations occasionally jarred me out of the story. But still a brilliant story, don't hesitate, just get it.
