In this stunning sequel to The Crimson Throne, Alyth and Samson must infiltrate the fae court to prepare to face the bloodthirsty army of the High Blade who is intent on destroying both the mortal and fae worlds. From the New York Times bestselling authors of the Witch and Hunter duology, Sara Raasch and Beth Revis, comes the conclusion to this incredible historical romantasy duology.

The stunning sequel to The Crimson Throne from the New York Times bestselling authors of Night of the Witch.

Alyth and Samson finally know the identity of the High Blade, leader of the bloodthirsty Red Cap army... and it's none other than Queen Elizabeth herself. They use every bit of courage, smarts, and luck they have to escape her grasp and flee to the fae court where they hope to find aid in the fight against the Red Caps.

But the fae princes have been apathetic since the Faerie Queen disappeared years ago at the hands of the High Blade. They seem unwilling to help. And if they find out Samson's true identity, he'll be killed.

Alyth and Samson can only depend on each other and their love as they navigate fae politics, try to win allies, search for the missing queen, and face down the greatest threat the two worlds have ever known.

Beth Revis (Author) Beth Revis is a New York Times bestselling author with books available in more than twenty languages. She writes science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary novels, including the Witch and Hunter duology, Across the Universe, Star Wars: Rebel Rising, Give the Dark My Love, and A World Without You.
