About this ebook
Crystal Smith’s young adult fantasy Greythorne brims with mysterious magic, political intrigue, and a passionate heroine fighting to save those she loves.
Princess Aurelia’s life is upended when the kingdom she thought she saved falls to ruin, a loved one is tragically killed in a shipwreck, and her home country turns against her. With no place left to call her own, Aurelia returns to Greythorne Manor—her best friend’s family mansion—only to find that Greythorne has sinister secrets of its own.
With enemies closing in on all sides, Aurelia is caught in a mad fight to protect the only people she has left—her family. In her darkest moments, when all seems grim, will Aurelia find a spark of hope from a love she thought long lost?
“A dark and riveting tale. . . . At its heart, this is a story of facing fears and finding the strength to fight for what you want. At times gory, at times heart-wrenching, and always captivating, [this] is a thrilling and surprising sequel that will leave readers eager for the final installment. Recommend the Bloodleaf trilogy to fans of the Throne of Glass series looking for their next read.” —Booklist
“Smith has created a world full of intricate magical properties and rules where nothing is as it seems and the game is constantly changing. . . . [Readers will] be pulled to the edge of their seats. . . . abruptly awesome.” —School Library Journal

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An extremely good middle book. Even though events in the first one were a bit hazy in my mind, this one had such a quick start and so much going on, i was soon immersed in the plot. There is mayhem and darkness aplenty here, but every instance is relevant to the plot. A no brainer addition for any library owning the first book and I look forward to the conclusion of this trilogy.
