Greythorne

Crystal Smith's young adult fantasy Greythorne brims with mysterious magic, political intrigue, and a passionate heroine fighting to save those she loves.
Princess Aurelia's life is upended when the kingdom she thought she saved falls to ruin, a loved one is tragically killed in a shipwreck, and her home country turns against her. With no place left to call her own, Aurelia returns to Greythorne Manor-her best friend's family mansion-only to find that Greythorne has sinister secrets of its own.
With enemies closing in on all sides, Aurelia is caught in a mad fight to protect the only people she has left-her family. In her darkest moments, when all seems grim, will Aurelia find a spark of hope from a love she thought long lost?
"A dark and riveting tale.... At its heart, this is a story of facing fears and finding the strength to fight for what you want. At times gory, at times heart-wrenching, and always captivating, [this] is a thrilling and surprising sequel that will leave readers eager for the final installment. Recommend the Bloodleaf trilogy to fans of the Throne of Glass series looking for their next read." -Booklist
"Smith has created a world full of intricate magical properties and rules where nothing is as it seems and the game is constantly changing.... [Readers will] be pulled to the edge of their seats.... abruptly awesome." -School Library Journal
