The Daughter of Smoke & Bone Trilogy - Book 2
Days of Blood & Starlight
“Any book that opens with ‘Once upon a time’ is
inviting high expectations. It’s a phrase that inevitably evokes fairy tales
and leather-bound classics about epic adventures, setting up the anticipation
that readers will discover worlds filled with magic…In this case, the story
that follows…is a breath-catching romantic fantasy about destiny, hope, and the
search for one’s true self that doesn’t let readers down. Taylor has taken
elements of mythology, religion, and her own imagination and pasted them into a
believably fantastical collage.”
New York Times Book Review
An art student and monster's apprentice must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people in this riveting sequel to the mesmerizing, acclaimed book Daughter of Smoke & Bone by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor -- now with a gorgeous new package!
This is not that world.
Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is -- and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it.
In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.
While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope.
But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?
