In the daring sequel to The Sun Blessed Prince, Elician and Cat must confront the goddess of death to save their nations. But could it already be too late?

Elician is a Giver with the power to raise the dead, and though it’s forbidden for Givers to rule, he is crowned King of Soleb. Determined to end a generations-long war with the kingdom of Alelune, he is prepared to marry Cat, Alelune's rightful heir. 

But Cat is a Reaper, able to kill with a touch, and feared by even his own people. His claim to the throne is a gamble at best, but before he can challenge his tyrannical brother, Gillage, the goddess of death releases a devastating plague across the continent.

To stop it, Elician and Cat must confront Death herself, leaving Elician's rebellious sister, Fen, to do what she can to heal the sick in their absence. But when a coup threatens to upend her brother’s reign, Fen must decide exactly what she is willing to sacrifice to help her brother succeed. 

With two countries at stake, the death toll rising, and the struggle for Alelune’s throne hanging in the balance, it’s a race against time to appease the wrath of a god.

Reviews for The Moon Blessed King: Book Two of A Tale of Two Crowns Duology

“In this gem of a sequel, Byrd carries the bold set-up from the first book, rooted in life-and-death magic, plague, and political upheaval, through to its full, layered potential. At the story’s beating heart, Cat and Elician’s romance is swoonworthy, tender, and a joy to see unfold on the page—the moon and the sun, never eclipsing each other. Finely wrought, The Moon Blessed King is a resonant, deeply satisfying end to the tale begun in The Sun Blessed Prince, with some delightful twists along the way.” —Lauren Wiesebron, author of The House of Frost and Feathers
