After the massacre that killed Conor's princess fiancé, things have changed. Conor has become serious, realizing that he will be taking up the crown soon. His father, the King, has retreated to a tower and hasn't spoken since that night. It's obvious that he will never rule again. Conor forms another alliance and soon a princess known for her beauty is about to arrive, although his heart is still with Lin Caster, the physician who is part of the people separated from the mainstream.
Kel is still doing everything he can to protect Conor and the Crown. He is working with the criminal underground, as they are placed to root out the conspiracy against Conor. The woman he loves has been promised to a disgusting lord who is known for his cruelty and desire to humiliate all those around him.
Lin has declared herself the Goddess her people have been searching for, waiting for centuries. She doesn't believe she is the Goddess, but wants access to books forbidden to her to find a cure for her best friend. While treating the King, she discovers his secret which also affects Conor. Will things all work out?
This is the second book in The Chronicles Of Castellane series. Advertising says book two of two, but it is hard to imagine that the ending of this book is the ending of the series as it ends with much in turmoil and unresolved. Cassandra Clare is known for her epic fantasies and I've really enjoyed reading this one. This book is recommended for fantasy readers.
