She defied an empire...

Now she's starting a war.

The Shadow Watch has been undone. Their captain lies in the dungeons of the White Citadel, and the Gallows Girl has disappeared.

Most of the surviving Watchers have joined the chancellor's new magical army, the Sky Guard, led by Darien Redvar, but the Gallows Boy is shaken from the return of the monsters of the Old World, and he must soon choose, once and for all, where his loyalties lie.

Tori treks to the Great White North with an Alyut shaman, who believes she is the one who will bring Restoration to his people. A resistance is growing in the North, but Tori may not be the god the people are looking for, and the price of revolution may cost Tori her heart as well as her life.

Meanwhile, another threat grows in strength. Old World monsters are rising up across the New World, and no one knows how they've returned. As nations ready themselves for a magical war, their return threatens to change everything.

New alliances are set in place, new friendships are forged, new loves kindled. But no one is safe, for there can be no war without betrayal.

Don't miss the second installment in the best-selling YA epic fantasy series readers are comparing to Shadow & Bone and Throne of Glass!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Loved it! S.A. Klopfenstein took the series to another level with this one. There are so many incredible scenes that stand out in my head as I reflect upon this book; ranging from beautiful to absolutely brutal."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The first one was a great set-up, but this one had some amazing twists and turns. I am so glad I bought the 4-book series because this second book left things completely upside down! Wow."
