Description

The EPIC FANTASY and #1 Sunday Times bestseller, from the multi-million-selling author of the Court of Thorns and Roses series

'Maas has established herself as a fantasy fiction titan' Time

'Think Game of Thrones meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a drizzle of E.L. James' Telegraph

'Spiced with slick plotting and atmospheric world-building ... a page-turning delight' Guardian

'Sarah J. Maas does not disappoint … To be devoured with relish' Mail

THE DEADLIEST POWER.

THE FIERCEST PASSION.

THE CRUELLEST FATE.

Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar have made a pact. As they process the events of the Spring they will keep things … platonic … until Winter Solstice. But can they resist when the crackling tension between them is enough to set the whole of Crescent City aflame?

And they are not out of danger yet. Dragged into a rebel movement they want no part of, Bryce, Hunt and their friends find themselves pitted against the terrifying Asteri – whose notice they must avoid at all costs. But as they learn more about the rebel cause, they face a choice: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight. And they’ve never been very good at staying silent.

In this sexy, action-packed sequel to the #1 bestseller House of Earth and Blood, Sarah J. Maas weaves a captivating story of a world about to explode – and the people who will do anything to save it.

Reader reviews for House of Sky and Breath

‘A sensational story in the world of dark fantasy, that is magical and haunting, with an exhilarating plot, powerful world building, a level of suspense that inspires a hungry turn of pages and a brilliant array of characters that I believe are her best cast yet. Ingenious’

‘I absolutely devoured this book! A great addition to the series, full of twists and turns’

‘One of the best books she’s written in my opinion, second time reading it and I still couldn’t get enough’

‘This book blew me away I couldn't put it down’

‘Sarah J Maas has done it again! This book from the outset is riddled with twists, turns, love and betrayal’
