Return to the darkly beautiful world of The Sin Eater's Daughter with a sequel that will leave you awed, terrified . . . and desperate for more.

Ever since her brother Lief disappeared, Errin's life has gone from bad to worse. Not only must she care for her sick mother, she has to scrape together rent money by selling illegal herbal cures. But none of that compares to the threat of the vengeful Sleeping Prince whom the Queen just awoke from his enchanted sleep.

When her village is evacuated as part of the war against the Sleeping Prince, Errin is left desperate and homeless. The only person she can turn to is the mysterious Silas, a young man who buys deadly poisons from Errin, but won't reveal why he needs them. Silas promises to help her, but when he vanishes, Errin must journey across a kingdom on the brink of war to seek another way to save her mother and herself. But what she finds shatters everything she believed about her world, and with the Sleeping Prince drawing nearer, Errin must make a heartbreaking choice that could affect the whole kingdom.

Seriously is that not the most gorgeous cover you've ever seen?

I'm such a big fan of the covers, they're so pretty! I'm kind of sad that we won't be returning to Twylla and Lief, even though there wasn't a cliffhanger in book one it felt a little open to me. BUT I'm kind of excited, to meet new characters, to finally meet the sleeping prince and look at that synopsis.... 'a sequel that will leave you awed, terrified ... and desperate for more.' hell yes! I'm pretty sure I'll be thinking Twylla who? by the end, well I hope!

For those of you who aren't familiar with this series, get familiar! The Sin Eater's Daughter was one of the popular YA releases of this year. Filled with magic, folklore, an amazing unique plot with great characters-- it's a fantastically written fantasy book.


It's released April 2016, so get this on your TBR shelves now..

Review: 4/5 *Full Review Below.

Blurb:
I am the perfect weapon.
I kill with a single touch.

Twylla is blessed. The Gods have chosen her to marry a prince, and rule the kingdom. But the favour of the Gods has it's price. A deadly poison infuses her skin. Those who anger the queen must die under Twylla's fatal touch.

Only Lief, an outspoken new guard, can see past Twylla's chilling role to the girls she truly is.

Yet in a court as dangerous and the queen's, some truths should not be told...
