What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

An instant bestseller, this is the second fierce, fresh and gloriously romantic YA Greek myth re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, TikTok superstar and Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen.

Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2025!

Love caused this war. At least, that’s what the stories will say.

When Cassandra’s patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy – and all the power that comes with it – she seizes the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, she discovers just how very far she has to fall. No one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of one girl – and she’s going to start a war.

Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love – though that’s proving more elusive than she’d hoped. Far from home, Helen’s navigating all the politics and backstabbing of the Trojan court.

And one princess seems particularly intent on driving her from the city. . .

But when war finally strikes, it’s more than the army at their walls they must contend with. Cassandra and Helen might hold the key to reweaving fate itself – especially with the prophetic strands drawing them ever closer together.

But how do you change your future when the gods themselves are dictating your demise?

Critics Review

The End Crowns All is an absolute delight from start to finish. Bea's incredible knowledge of Greek mythology shines throughout, allowing her to bring The Iliad to life in such a refreshingly unique and imaginative way. It's impossible not to fall head-over-heels for both Helen and Cassandra: they are both fierce, funny and fully-fleshed out characters with chemistry that sizzles off the page. This is a book with so much heart, centred around a beautiful love story that will leave you swooning.
Rosie Hewlett, bestselling author of Medea
The End Crowns All is witty, romantic and a total joy. Bea completely flips the script, giving Cassandra and Helen agency to subvert their own destiny with dialogue that crackles with humour, love and fire! In short, this is the perfect summer read
Elodie Harper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wolf Den
This is a witty, sharp reimagining that overflows with heart. Bea Fitzgerald weaves ancient myth into a dazzling new story that is bold, compelling and a striking reflection on the power of storytelling. She is so very skilled in elevating the voices of women, giving them legends of their own that speak to a whole new generation of readers
