Narrated by: Avena Mansergh-Wallace

The second installment in Lyra Selene's international bestselling series, A Crown So Silver, is set during a deadly trial on a mysterious snowy island ruled by a trickster king. The prize: a chance for vengeance.

After her sacrifice on the Ember Moon, Fia is flush with powerful magic and eager to rush into battle against her murderous sister, Eala. However, Fia’s new husband Irian suggests they bide their time and retreat to the Silver Isle, a snowy island at the edge of the fae world.

Ruled by the cunning smith-king, the Silver Isle proves far from a safe haven. Fia and Irian become embroiled in the Tournament of Kings competing for a magical forging of immense power. Their relationship will be put to the test as they navigate their conflicting motivations, shifting allegiances, and ancient magic.

With the end of the tournament looming and Eala’s threat growing, Fia must decide just how much she’s willing to sacrifice to defeat her sister.

—Shelf Awareness

I liked the voice actor. I think she did a good job with the accents and conveying the personalities.

I fell in love with the first book but this one seemed to lack the power I was hoping for Fía. Not super excited about the ending but I’m still happy and going to read the 3rd when it comes out. Overall the story was wonderful and she has some of the most beautiful writing I’ve read.

Not as good as the first book.

The first book was one of my favorite reads ever. I had somewhat high expectations for this book and unfortunately, it didn’t meet them. The writing was beautiful, the narrator amazing but it just didn’t progress the plot too much from the first book and everything kept going wrong. It’s a long wait till the next book comes out and I would recommend waiting to read this book until then.
