What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

‘One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade’ TIME

Never trust an assassin.

Celaena’s story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion — not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart.

Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena’s world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to fight for.

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can save them all.

Critics Review

Action-packed ... What a ride!
Booklist on The Assassin’s Blade
A thrilling read.
Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Throne of Glass
An epic fantasy readers will immerse themselves in and never want to leave.
Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Crown of Midnight
Celaena is as much an epic hero as Frodo or Jon Snow!
New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce on Heir of Fire
Packed ... with brooding glances, simmering sexual tension, twisty plot turns, lush world building, and snarky banter.
Booklist on Queen of Shadows
Tightly plotted, delightful escapism.
Kirkus Reviews on Empire of Storms
Turns a corner from sprawling epic to thrilling psychological fantasy.
HuffPost on Tower of Dawn
A worthy finale to one of the best fantasy book series of the past decade.

So tense! It has a gripping story with twists and turns and murder and double crossing and more! A jolly good listen.

Brilliant! Even better than Throne of glass. Action packed and so complex but not hard work at all. I couldn’t stop listening and finished in just over a day.
