A Crown So Silver

On a mysterious snowy island ruled by a trickster king where magic comes at a price, a deadly trial commences. The prize: a chance for vengeance. A Crown So Silver is the second book in Lyra Selene's Number One Sunday Times bestselling Fair Folk trilogy, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Fourth Wing.

After her sacrifice on the Ember Moon, Fia is flush with powerful magic and eager to rush into battle against her murderous sister, Eala. However, Fia's new husband Irian suggests they bide their time and retreat to the Silver Isle, a snowy island at the edge of the fae world.

Ruled by the cunning smith-king, the Silver Isle proves far from a safe haven. Fia and Irian become embroiled in the Tournament of Kings competing for a magical forging of immense power. Fia and Irian's relationship will be put to the test as they navigate their conflicting motivations, shifting allegiances and ancient magic.

With the end of the tournament looming and Eala's threat growing, Fia must decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice to defeat her sister.

Review

Readers will get lost in Selene's fairy world; this tale showcases expansive world building, fascinating political intrigue among the fae, and death-defying love in an epic adventure that will turn the characters' worlds on their heads while setting up nicely for the next book -- BOOKLIST

Breathtakingly adventurous and sexy . . . Selene expands her lush fantasy setting, bumps the romance from steamy to scalding, and brings new friends and enemies into Fia's path. The prose remains as dreamy and poetic as in the first book, and the ending sets up a dramatic twist that will leave readers clamouring to get their hands on the next volume -- SHELF AWARENESS
