A contested throne, a widening threat, and dangerous power
The second Nightshade Crown installment places Lore, a necromancer and former smuggler, beside Prince Bastian after his seizure of Dellaire’s throne. Their attempt to reform a corrupt court meets resistance from hostile nobles, pressure from the Kirythean Empire, and fractures among Lore’s former allies. As Bastian’s behavior grows more severe, Lore is also drawn toward a buried truth about her own abilities and a dark presence stirring beneath the kingdom. Court politics, romantic conflict, necromancy, and an approaching coronation converge around the question of whether Dellaire can withstand threats both within the palace and below it.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of romantic fantasy centered on court intrigue and contested succession
- Readers following Lore and Bastian’s story in The Nightshade Crown series

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.
