The Hemlock Queen
ByPublisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
The glittering and dangerous world of the Sainted King’s royal court is upended when Prince Bastian seizes control and a mysterious dark force begins to take over in the second installment of New York Times bestselling series The Nightshade Crown.
The corrupt king August is dead. Prince Bastian has seized the throne and raised Lore—a necromancer and former smuggler—to his right-hand side. Together they plan to cut out the rot from the heart of the royal court and help the people of Dellaire. But not everyone is happy with the changes. The nobles are sowing dissent, the Kirythean Empire is beating down their door, and Lore’s old allies are pulling away. Even Prince Bastian has changed. No longer the hopeful, rakish, charismatic man Lore knows and loves, instead he’s become reckless, domineering, and cold.
And something has been whispering in her ear. A voice, dark and haunting, that’s telling her there’s more to the story than she knows and more to her power than she can even imagine. A truth buried deep that could change everything.
With Bastian’s coronation fast approaching and enemies whispering on all sides, Lore must figure out how to protect herself, her prince, and her country before they all come crumbling down and whatever dark power has been creeping through the catacombs is unleashed.

“Goodness, this is the book that was never going to end. I enjoyed the characters and concept, but my goodness it was going to take 300 pages to make any movement. I may read the third but I need a break from this series.”Kelly

“The obvious (to me anyways) foreshadowing from the first book did play out in many of the ways I thought it would, but there were some great twists thrown in that I didn’t expect.
Can’t wait for the third book.”

“The first book in the series was beautifully written, easy to read, and painted an atmospheric scenery inside my mind. The Hemlock Queen was very hard to get into because it felt so different from the first one. The characters felt flat, the beautiful scenery turned dreary, and the storyline was incredibly boring. With 100 pages left until the end, I didn’t care how it concluded and stopped reading and listening. I will not be reading the third book.”About Hannah Whitten
Hannah Whitten has been writing to amuse herself since she could hold a pen, and she figured out sometime in high school that what amused her might also amuse others. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, making music, or attempting to bake. She lives in Tennessee with her husband, her children, a dog, two cats, and probably some ghosts.
