Harley Quinn: Ravenous takes readers on an even more chaotic journey as Harley falls in love and embraces her inner Super-Villain in this thrilling second book of the Harley Quinn origin trilogy.

"Allen's Harley is a fierce, righteous, brilliant, and preternaturally brave ball of chaos. I loved and feared every single minute with her." - Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer

When Harleen Quinzel wakes up in a hospital bed with no recollection of the past few months, she scrambles to pick up the pieces of her life. As she starts classes at Gotham University and begins an internship at Arkham Asylum, Harleen is determined to make her mark. She gets paired with the most high-profile female inmate at Arkham—the notorious Talia al Ghūl.

Talia is brilliant and fascinating, and as they spend more time together, the lines between good and bad begin to blur for Harleen. When Harleen starts to see Talia less as a patient and more as a mentor, all of Harleen's dark and dangerous pieces begin finding their way to the surface again. The only way to stop the terror that haunts the halls of Arkham Asylum may be to let her darkness out...

Follow Harleen's rise from anxious college student to ravenous, chaotic feminist icon in the second instalment of the Harley Quinn origin story.
