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.

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.
