Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole’s Arcana Chronicles, a nonstop action tale of rescue, redemption, and a revenge most wicked.

Heartbreaking decisions 
Evie was almost seduced by the life of comfort that Death offered her—until Jack was threatened by two of the most horrific Arcana, The Lovers. She will do anything to save him, even escape Death’s uncanny prison, full of beautiful objects, material comforts…and stolen glances from a former love.

Uncertain victory
Despite leaving a part of her heart behind with Death, Evie sets out into a frozen and perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on The Lovers and the vast army they command. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them once and for all may mean Evie, Jack, and Death allying. Evie doesn’t know what will prove more impossible: surviving slavers, plague, Bagmen and other Arcana—or convincing Jack and Death to work together.

Two heroes returned
There’s a thin line between love and hate, and Evie just doesn’t know where she stands with either Jack or Death. Will this unlikely trio be able to defeat The Lovers without killing one another first?

Catch up with the first two books in the series: Poison Princess & Endless Knight! Order them from SDCL here.

Eighteen-year-old Celeana Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful – the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the King’s contest and became his champion, Celeana has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart.

The slavery of the suffocating salt mines of Endovier that scarred her past is nothing compared to a life bound to her darkest enemy, a king whose rule is so dark and evil it is near impossible to defy. Celeana faces a choice that is tearing her heart to pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates, or risk sentencing those she loves to death.

Celeana must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all... And trying to may just destroy her.

Love or loathe Celeana, she will slice open your heart with her dagger and leave you bleeding long after the last page of the highly anticipated sequel in what is undeniably THE hottest new fantasy series.

Crown of Midnight is a fierce follow up to Throne of Glass. Celena Sardothian is no longer the pitiable, broken, and nearly feral creature we met in the beginning pages of Throne. Celeana is at her deadliest best- scared of losing the people she cares for, and following her heart for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past. But as a reader who now knows the pattern of a Sarah J. Maas novel, I know that nothing good can stay, and pain is just around the corner. I cannot compare the agony of those extraordinary prequel novellas and the beginning of Thone to the heartbreak of Crown- there is no contest, Crown doesn't hurt like all that came BEFORE it. Reveltaions, heartbreak, loss, and thrilling hope all dance along the knife's edge of danger. Maas has given her readers an explosive new addition to the near perfect Throne of Glass series and has thus solidified herself as one of the most talented authors of the age.
