AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION! The first daughter is for the Throne. The second daughter is for the Wolf. An instant NYT bestseller and word-of-mouth sensation, this dark, romantic debut fantasy weaves the unforgettable tale of a young woman who must be sacrificed to the legendary Wolf of the Wood to save her kingdom. But not all legends are true, and the Wolf isn't the only danger lurking in the Wilderwood. As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose—to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he'll return the world's captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again. But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood—and her world—whole. "If you ever wished Beauty and the Beast had more eldritch forest monsters and political machinations, this is the romance for you."―Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "A brilliant dark fantasy debut!" —Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author

In this breathtaking sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller For the Wolf, Red's sister Neve struggles to escape a mysterious land of twisted roots, lost gods, and mountains made of bone—and the only clues to her rescue are a magic mirror and a dark prince who wants to bring the whole thing crumbling down. The First Daughter is for the Throne The Second Daughter is for the Wolf... Red and the Wolf have finally contained the threat of the Old Kings but at a steep cost. Red's beloved sister Neve, the First Daughter is lost in the Shadowlands, an inverted kingdom where the vicious gods of legend have been trapped for centuries and the Old Kings have slowly been gaining control. But Neve has an ally, though it's one she'd rather never have to speak to again: the rogue king Solmir. Solmir wants to bring an end to the Shadowlands and he believes helping Neve may be the key to its destruction. But to do that, they will both have to journey across a dangerous landscape in order to find a mysterious Heart Tree, and finally to claim the gods' dark, twisted powers for themselves.

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.

In this lush, romantic epic fantasy series from a New York Times bestselling author, a young woman’s secret power to raise the dead plunges her into the dangerous and glamorous world of the Sainted King’s royal court. When Lore was thirteen, she escaped a cult in the catacombs beneath the city of Dellaire. And in the ten years since, she’s lived by one rule: don’t let them find you. Easier said than done, when her death magic ties her to the city. Mortem, the magic born from death, is a high-priced and illicit commodity in Dellaire, and Lore’s job running poisons keeps her in food, shelter, and relative security. But when a run goes wrong and Lore’s power is revealed, she’s taken by the Presque Mort, a group of warrior-monks sanctioned to use Mortem working for the Sainted King. Lore fully expects a pyre, but King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what’s happening and who in the King’s court is responsible, or die. Lore is thrust into the Sainted King’s glittering court, where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted. Guarded by Gabriel, a duke-turned-monk, and continually running up against Bastian, August’s ne'er-do-well heir, Lore tangles in politics, religion, and forbidden romance as she attempts to navigate a debauched and opulent society. But the life she left behind in the catacombs is catching up with her. And even as Lore makes her way through the Sainted court above, they might be drawing closer than she thinks.

The Nightshade Crown is in the hands of a ruthless god and Lore will stop at nothing to defeat him in the final installment of this lush, romantic, New York 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 allies from being scattered across the continent—their own lesser gods whispering to them in their dreams. 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 prison colony and figure out a way to defeat the power that’s captured everything and everyone she holds dear. When a surprise ally joins her on the Burnt Isles she realizes the way forward may lie on the island itself. Somehow, her friends must help her collect the far-scattered pieces of the broken Fount—the source of all the god’s powers—and bring them back together on the Burnt Isles, returning all magic to its source and destroying, once and for all, the gods corrupting the land. 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.

August, le roi corrompu, est mort. Lore, nécromancienne et ancienne trafiquante de poison, vit désormais à la cour auprès du nouveau souverain. Ensemble, ils comptent bien éradiquer la corruption qui gangrène le palais et aider le peuple de Dellaire. Mais ces projets ne sont pas du goût de tous : les nobles sèment la discorde, l'empire kirythéen frappe à la porte du royaume et les anciens alliés de Lore s'éloignent. Même Bastian a changé. Le prince charismatique et solaire que Lore connaissait a disparu, remplacé par un homme implacable, autoritaire et froid. Et quelque chose chuchote à l'oreille de Lore. Une voix, sombre et obsédante, qui lui souffle que son pouvoir est plus grand qu'elle ne peut l'imaginer. Qu'il existe une vérité profondément enfouie dans son histoire, capable de tout changer. Alors que le couronnement se rapproche, Lore doit parvenir à se protéger et à protéger son amour comme son peuple avant que la vénéneuse puissance qui hante les catacombes soit libérée... « Ma nouvelle obsession. » Jodi Picoult, Mille petits riens « Hannah Whitten a construit un monde aussi sombre que fascinant, romantique et provocant. » Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis « Mortel, inquiétant, et si attirant qu'on ne peut lâcher le joyau noir qu'est ce livre. » Stephanie Garber, Caraval « Sombre et luxurieux, délicieusement dangereux, ce livre vous enveloppe dans du velours tout en vous plaquant un couteau sur la gorge. » Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning « Hannah Whitten est définitivement une autrice à suivre. » Katee Robert, Neon Gods (Dark Olympus)

Un royaume décadent inspiré d'une cour de Versailles gothique. Une nécromancienne traquée dissimulant une magie des morts interdite.

A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten. Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.

Destinada a se sacrificar pelo reino, Red enfrentará os perigos de uma floresta mágica para proteger aqueles que ama e descobrirá verdades perigosas por trás das lendas de seu povo. Primeiro volume da duologia Wilderwood, Para o Lobo é uma fantasia dark que combina elementos de contos de fadas em uma narrativa envolvente e repleta de personagens inesquecíveis. O reino de Valleyda não via o nascimento de uma Segunda Filha há cem anos — até a Rainha dar à luz Redarys, ou Red, irmã mais nova de Neverah. Seu propósito de vida é um só: o sacrifício. Ao completar vinte anos, Red se entregará ao temido Lobo em Wilderwood — a floresta que faz fronteira com seu lar —, para cumprir o pacto selado há quatro séculos e garantir a segurança não só de Valleyda, mas também de todos os demais reinos. Carregando o fardo de um poder que não consegue controlar, Red sempre soube de seu destino e está quase aliviada por cumpri-lo: na floresta, ela não pode machucar aqueles que ama. No entanto, apesar do que dizem as lendas, o Lobo é apenas um homem, não um monstro. E os poderes de Red são um chamado, não uma maldição. Enquanto descobre a verdade por trás dos mitos, a Segunda Filha precisará aprender a controlar sua magia antes que as sombras tomem conta de seu mundo. "Com atmosfera densa e uma prosa perspicaz e contundente, Para o Lobo é uma jornada gloriosa pelas profundezas de florestas obscuras." — Erin Craig Aviso de conteúdo sensível: este livro contém cenas de magia com descrições de automutilação.

Na aguardada sequência de Para o Lobo, Hannah Whitten conclui sua duologia com uma história sombria e brilhante sobre amor, mágica e os segredos escritos nas estrelas. Cumprindo seu destino como a Segunda Filha do reino de Valleyda, Red se entregou à floresta de Wilderwood, onde descobriu a verdade por trás das lendas. Com a ajuda do Lobo, ela conteve a ameaça dos Cinco Reis, mas o custo foi alto demais, e sua irmã Neve ficou presa na Terra das Sombras. Perdida em um território desconhecido, Neve encontra um aliado improvável: Solmir, alguém com quem a Primeira Filha preferiria nunca mais ter contato. Juntos, os dois partem numa jornada perigosa em busca da Árvore do Coração, para enfim reivindicar os poderes sombrios dos deuses. "Whitten encheu este livro de ação, reviravoltas e traições, tecendo o imaginário familiar de um conto de fadas com uma mão leve e segura. Um final à altura da saga." — Publishers Weekly "Uma história de amor harmoniosa em vários sentidos, Para o Trono não é apenas uma boa conclusão de Para o Lobo, mas também um lembrete agridoce de que o 'felizes para sempre' não existe em histórias reais, e cabe a nós fazer o melhor que pudermos para construir um futuro com as pessoas que amamos." — Paste Magazine
