Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Nightshade Crown is in the hands of a ruthless god and Lore will stop at nothing to defeat him in the final instalment of this lush, romantic, Sunday Times bestselling fantasy series from breakout star Hannah Whitten.
Lore has failed. She couldn’t save King Bastian from the rotten god speaking voices in his mind. She couldn’t save her friends from being scattered across the continent. She couldn’t save her beautiful, corrupt city from the dark power beneath the catacombs. And she couldn’t save herself.
Banished to the Burnt Isles, Lore must use every skill she earned on the streets of Dellaire to survive the desolate prison colony and figure out a way to defeat the power that’s captured everything and everyone she holds dear. But as Lore gets closer to her goal, her magic grows stronger . . . and to a woman who’s always had to fight for survival, that kind of power may be hard to give up.
