Book description
The stunning second novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series expands Samantha Shannon's epic world of Scion in a new heart-pounding story of revolution. Paige Mahoney has escaped the clandestine prison city of Oxford. Now a fugitive in London, she nurtures a new taste for revolution. Oxford may be behind her, but the Republic of Scion is undefeated. As it turns its all-seeing eye on Paige, she is forced to return to Jaxon Hall, her charismatic and brutal employer, to keep her foothold in the underworld. But Paige will bow to one now, and not even Jaxon will stop her exposing the corruption in the syndicate. As she plots to win the fabled Rose Crown, both sides of an ancient conflict seek her talents for themselves. With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and "complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching" (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.
