An instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller!
"J.R. Ward is a powerhouse in the genre and never disappoints!"--Rebecca Yarros "Absolutely unputdownable!"--Jennifer Armentrout Crown of War and Shadow is a slow-burn romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout. A one-night bargain forges a fated bond, and an outcast discovers the darkness did not choose her by accident. The Fulcrum is failing, and demons are slipping into the mortal world. No one is safe, least of all Sorrel, an orphan and an outcast feared by her village for the strange magic stirring inside her. She has one desire: to be ordinary. But Fate has other plans. Sorrel has been chosen. Or cursed. Now, she must travel across the monster-ridden Badlands, return the Crown of War and Shadow, and face a queen who shows no mercy. To survive the journey, Sorrel makes a dangerous bargain with Merc, an infamous hired blade known only by the name of his trade, a man with secrets darker than the road ahead. The price is one unforgettable night in his bed in exchange for safe passage. But Merc's secrets run deep, and the hotter the desire burns between them, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Beasts and betrayal surround them, and Sorrel may be exactly what the demons are hunting. Crown of War and Shadow is the first book in the Kingdoms of the Compass series.
