“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

Throne of Frost and Flame is the second book in a sweeping, slow-burn romantasy series from #1 New York Times bestseller J. R. Ward, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer Armentrout!

She caged the Dark King. Now she has to survive what comes after.

Sorrel bought Anathos a breath of peace when she cast the Dark King back into the Fulcrum—but victory leaves bruises. Merc, her fiercest protector and the man she’d burn kingdoms for, lies broken in Prosperitus… and Sorrel is forced to wait while enemies sharpen their smiles.

Because the court doesn’t celebrate heroes. It uses them.

As whispers turn to knives and intrigue turns lethal, the Prince—her only ally with real power—forces Sorrel toward a choice that reeks of treason. Obey, and she may betray everything she fought for. Refuse, and she may doom the realm.

When Merc can finally stand, Sorrel turns north to marshal more armies before demon hordes spill across the land. But the Forest of Reflection waits on the road—where truth becomes a weapon, love becomes a weakness, and the darkest part of Sorrel learns to answer back.

And as the Dark King strains at his cage, Sorrel must find the courage to win a war for Anathos…without losing her soul to the darkness rising inside her.
