The Nightshade God (The Nightshade Crown #3)

by Hannah Whitten

Overview

The Nightshade Crown is in the hands of a ruthless god and Lore will stop at nothing to defeat him in the final installment of this lush, romantic, New York Times bestselling fantasy series from breakout star Hannah Whitten.

Lore has failed. She couldn’t save King Bastian from the rotten god speaking voices in his mind. She couldn’t save her allies from being scattered across the continent—their own lesser gods whispering to them in their dreams. She couldn’t save her beautiful, corrupt city from the dark power beneath the catacombs. And she couldn’t save herself.
 

Banished to the Burnt Isles, Lore must use every skill she earned on the streets of Dellaire to survive the prison colony and figure out a way to defeat the power that’s captured everything and everyone she holds dear. When a surprise ally joins her on the Burnt Isles she realizes the way forward may lie on the island itself. Somehow, her friends must help her collect the far-scattered pieces of the broken Fount—the source of all the god’s powers—and bring them back together on the Burnt Isles, returning all magic to its source and destroying, once and for all, the gods corrupting the land.
 

But as Lore gets closer to her goal, her magic grows stronger… and to a woman who’s always had to fight for survival, that kind of power may be hard to give up.

Editorial Reviews

"Stunning... Balancing a large cast of complex characters, gorgeous worldbuilding, juicy romance, and a page-turning plot, Whitten’s epic conclusion does not disappoint." 

—Booklist (starred review).

"Unhinged, chaotic, and thoroughly satisfying... Whitten’s Nightshade Crown trilogy remains one of the best examples of what a true romantasy title should be and do, carefully balancing the romance and fantasy elements of her works in a way that purposefully refuses to privilege one half of the genre over the other. Full of lush prose and morally complex, emotionally compromised characters, this is a story that wrestles with everything from faith and predestination to forgiveness, power, and the idea that if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do." 

—Paste

"Another opulent and romantic dark fantasy. With its fast pace, delicious love triangle, and high stakes, readers will devour this book." 

—Library Journal

"The unexpected twists will keep readers fully engaged until the end of this adventure, as Whitten neatly wraps up The Nightshade Crown trilogy."
