For the Throne

By: Hannah Whitten

Narrated by: Inés del Castillo

In this breathtaking sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller For the Wolf, Red's sister Neve struggles to escape a mysterious land of twisted roots, lost gods, and mountains made of bone—and the only clues to her rescue are a magic mirror and a dark prince who wants to bring the whole thing crumbling down.

The First Daughter is for the Throne

The Second Daughter is for the Wolf...

Red and the Wolf have finally contained the threat of the Old Kings but at a steep cost. Red's beloved sister Neve, the First Daughter is lost in the Shadowlands, an inverted kingdom where the vicious gods of legend have been trapped for centuries and the Old Kings have slowly been gaining control. But Neve has an ally, though it's one she'd rather never have to speak to again: the rogue king Solmir.

Solmir wants to bring an end to the Shadowlands and he believes helping Neve may be the key to its destruction. But to do that, they will both have to journey across a dangerous landscape in order to find a mysterious Heart Tree, and finally to claim the gods' dark, twisted powers for themselves.

I loved every detail in this book series. Just absolutely amazing!

This was absolutely the best book I have ever read. I’m not big on fantasy books but this book and the first one had me hooked and kept me reading till the end. I definitely recommend reading!

Excellent sequel

A really great follow up book to For the Wolf. This one obviously focuses more on the other sister and the Shadowlands. Great vivid descriptions and a solid story, this is worth the read (or listen).

Snow White and Rose Red

Where the first book, 'For the Wolf' was a combination of Beauty and the Beast and Red Riding Hood, this second book is a fantastically conceived Snow White and Rose Red story.

Neve is trapped in the shadowlands with the dead king, Solmir, who tried to use her to bring back all the dead kings. Neve learns Solmir was trying to destroy the kings, to prevent them from destroying the world. Neve and Solmir travel through the shadowlands together to find the Heart Tree and a way to finally destroy the kings.

While they are trapped in the shadowlands, Neve's sister, Red, is trying to find a way to bring Neve back. Red and Eammon, her husband the wolf, travel with Raffe, an old friend of Red and Neve's, along with a new character who has ties to the throne of Valleyda, in their search for answers.

It all comes to a head with the inevitable death of kings and the loss and finding of loves and family.

This was a beautiful, yet dark, conclusion the the duology.

Loved this audiobook!

I love it when second books are better than the first and in my opinion this story was so much better! Narrator did wonderfully!

Character Development

Preferred the first book, the beginning of this one was a bit slow but it got good towards the middle and end.
