In this stunning conclusion to the Orphan Queen duology, New York Times bestselling coauthor of My Plain Jane Jodi Meadows follows Wilhelmina's breathtaking and brave journey from orphaned criminal on the streets to magic-wielding queen.

This epic fantasy duology is perfect for fans of Graceling by Kristin Cashore, The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

Princess Wilhelmina is ready for her crown, but declaring herself queen means war. Her magic is uncontrollable and now there's a living boy made of wraith—destructive and deadly, and willing to do anything for her.

Caught between what she wants and what is right, Wilhelmina realizes the throne might not even matter. Everyone thought the wraith was years off, but already it's destroying Indigo Kingdom villages. Princess Wilhelmina's ability might be just the thing to help reclaim her kingdom—or ruin it forever.

      Starred review from February 15, 2016
      Princess Wilhelmina "Wil" Korte returns to reclaim her kingdom in this sequel to The Orphan Queen (2015). The action picks up where the last book's ended: Crown Prince Tobiah of the Indigo Kingdom has been fatally wounded by Wil's former ally. The intense opening sets a pace that never falters. Tobiah is saved, but his brush with death doesn't deter him from attempting to fulfil his father's dying wish that he marry Meredith, though his heart belongs to Wil. The many barriers between Wil and Tobiah are heartbreakingly real, making their romance that much more compelling. The most pressing concern though is the encroaching "wraith"--toxic magical residue that warps everything in its path. Wil finally makes it home to Aecor, her kingdom, but problems persist: her (well-founded) ever present fear that she won't be a capable queen, her complex relationship with Tobiah, and how to battle the wraith, among others. Truths are revealed, sacrifices are made, nothing is easy--there are no cure-alls (magic has its price) or deus ex machina endings. This story's the perfect length, and though it's hard to say goodbye to lovable, flawed, strong Wil, such a well-crafted, enjoyable, and immersive story helps ease the pain. It is a crying shame that Wil--who's self-described as brown-skinned--is whitewashed on the cover. Here's hoping for more tales set in this intriguing world. (Fantasy. 14 & up)

      Wilhelmina and Tobiah (The Orphan Queen) can no longer play at vigilantism; they must lead two nations not only at odds, but also facing annihilation from the destructive magical byproduct known as wraith. Meadows takes no shortcuts: her protagonists struggle with impossible situations, often worsened by their own mistakes, and their happy ending is all the more satisfying for being so hard-won.
