Series: A Throne of Swans

Fight or flight . . . or both?

Three months after Aderyn's coronation the court is celebrating the Solstice, but Aderyn is preoccupied by Lucien's continuing hostility. The celebrations are interrupted by the arrival of nobles who have escaped from the neighbouring country of Celonia - the flightless have risen up and overthrown their rulers. The world is changing.

As people begin to question whether Aderyn and Aron are strong enough to rule, there is an attempted assassination on Aderyn's life. Siegfried and Tallis have made their move - they have formed an army, declared war and will take the throne, by any means necessary.

Aderyn must fly to uncharted territories and risk the lives of everyone she loves, to defeat her enemies, secure her throne and unite her people.

Epic, dangerous and impossible to put down, this finale takes you on a soaring journey through grief, strength and determination to fight for what is right, what you love and what is yours.

Katharine and Elizabeth Corr are sisters originally from Essex, now living in Surrey. When they both decided to write novels - on account of fictional people being much easier to deal with than real ones - it was obvious they should do it together. They can sometimes be found in one of their local coffee shops, arguing over which character to kill off next. Katharine and Elizabeth are authors of the spellbinding trilogy The Witch's Kiss & the first book in their new duology A Throne of Swans.

Reviews for Crown of Talons (#2 Throne of Swans)

""If you love Melinda Salisbury's royal politics and treacherous courts, you'll love this brilliant Game of Thrones-esque fantasy. There's no swearing (though there is a very tastefully vague sex scene, suitable for young teens) and only occasional (reasonably vivid) violence, but tons of intrigue, mystery, family drama, glamorous gowns and hidden swords."" ― Book Trust ""Seventeen year old Aderly inherits a kingdom ruled by those who can transform into a bird and flu. Aderly is a swan who since witnessing her mothers murder can no longer take flight. Can she save the kingdom from her cruel uncle? Who can she trust? An Intriguing fantasy richly woven with magic and duplicitous cast, a flawed but courageous heroine and an unexpected twist. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Melinda Salisbury. ― South Wales Evening Post ""An enjoyable and intriguing YA fantasy about royal politics, revenge, and romance that I would describe asThrone of GlassmeetsThe Storm Crow!"" ― Nerd Daily ""A flawed but fascinating heroine, an unfulfilled romance and a fight to regain a kingdom ruled over by an evil king. . . .
