Two Twisted Crowns

By: Rachel Gillig

Narrated by: Lisa Cordileone

In the dark, spellbinding sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions as she and Ravyn embark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom—perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching.

Gripped by a tyrant king and in the thrall of dark magic, the kingdom is in peril. Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last—and most important—one remains to be found: the Twin Alders. If they’re going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth’s head: the Nightmare.

And he’s not eager to share any longer.

Critic reviews

Praise for One Dark Window:

"Thick fog, shifting alliances, and clever magic make the perfect backdrop for a sweeping romance—One Dark Window is enthralling from beginning to shocking end." ―Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

"One Dark Window is an evocative tale of romance, mystery and alluring monsters, told in beautifully lush prose. Rachel Gillig has created a story which left me entranced." ―Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge

“[T]he steamy romance that emerges between Elspeth and Ravyn delights. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Naomi Novak, and Hannah Whitten will want to check this out.” ―Publishers Weekly

"An enchanting tale with sharp claws and teeth—Gillig’s prose will pull you in and won’t let you sleep. Pulse-pounding, darkly whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic, One Dark Window is everything I love in fantasy and more." ―Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic

"A beautifully dark fairy tale of blood, rage and bitter choice, that whisked me away to mist-wreathed woods ripe with romance and menace." ―Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer

"A finely detailed magical system enriches Gillig’s debut; fantasy readers will enjoy." ―Library Journal

"Readers will be enthralled with Elspeth’s—and Nightmare’s—riveting adventure." ―Booklist

The Best Sequel Ever 😭😭

I’m upset that it has ended. I loved the Nightmare and Elspeth’s relationship. It was very dark and beautiful. I hate that it had to come to an end but I’m happy they got a HEA

Loved it!

One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns were fabulous! This book did a great job of brining the whole story together, showing the characters growth, and tying all the loose ends. Fabulous!

Everything I wanted and more!

If you loved book 1, strap in because you will love this book!

The progression of these two books, the unique magic system and the prose in which Rachel writes.. is chefs kiss!.

Ten out of ten!

Loved this series and the narrator. So good! It was a little slow to start but it needed that build up to support the rest of the story.

This kept me fully engaged!

Great story and characters. I would have given it a 5 star but I reserved that for book I will definitely read again and again. While I love this one I don’t think I will read it again.
