"J.R. Ward is a powerhouse in the genre and never disappoints!"--Rebecca Yarros, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
"Absolutely unputdownable!"--Jennifer Armentrout, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Crown of War and Shadow is a brand new, sweeping, slow-burn romantasy from #1 New York Times bestseller J. R., perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer Armentrout!
An outcast burdened with a curse. A mercenary out for himself. A kingdom that must be saved.
The Fulcrum is failing, and demons are slipping into the mortal world, stalking the night.
No one is safe.
Especially not Sorrel. An orphan and an outcast, she's spent her whole life within the walls of her small village, ostracized for her mystical abilities. She wants to survive...and maybe find somewhere she can call her true home. But Fate has other plans.
Sorrel has been chosen. Cursed.
She must cross the Badlands to return the Queen's crown and convince the fearsome female to save their world from destruction.
Well aware she's no brave hero, Sorrel makes a dangerous deal with Merc, a brooding, commanding mercenary known only by his unscrupulous profession.
The deal? A night in his bed that she will never forget, in exchange for her safe passage.
But Merc has secrets of his own, and even though passion runs hot between them, enemies are around every corner, and danger and betrayal threaten at every turn.
