The stunning second novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series expands Samantha Shannon's epic world of Scion in a new heart-pounding story of revolution.
Paige Mahoney has escaped the clandestine prison city of Oxford. Now a fugitive in London, she nurtures a new taste for revolution.
Oxford may be behind her, but the Republic of Scion is undefeated. As it turns its all-seeing eye on Paige, she is forced to return to Jaxon Hall, her charismatic and brutal employer, to keep her foothold in the underworld.
But Paige will bow to one now, and not even Jaxon will stop her exposing the corruption in the syndicate. As she plots to win the fabled Rose Crown, both sides of an ancient conflict seek her talents for themselves.
With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and "complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching" (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.

I am loving this series! It is different from anything I have read before.It somehow combines fantasy and science fiction. It does this seamlessly. The characters are fascinating to read about.Paige is one of my all time favorite lead characters . I will be reading the rest of this series soon.. I can't wait to see what happens next!
There’s a lot going on in this book
Third book in the series. If you've read the first two, get this!
When I saw the two magic words "London" and "Dystopian" I knew I had to have this book! Those are my two favourite literary labels. I was not initially impressed. The author is not very descriptive, and I like a good flowing sentence with plenty of adjectives. I also got a bit confused. Then I went to the back of the book, where there is a Proligue story, The Pale Dreamer. Definitely READ THIS FIRST. The rest of the book will make much more sense. Anyway, I enjoyed the story, so I went back to the beginning of the book again. It was good, not great, for a few chapters, but then a lot of things started happening, and my interest was captured. The author excels at battle scenes and character develooment. There are a lot of characters in this book, and they are well done. The book is imaginative and has great depth into its subjects. Anyone interested in clairvoyance, mind-reading, spiritualism erc will particularly enjoy this book. I bought the sequel quickly, so I obviously enjoyed this book! The writer is young and obviously has a successful career in her future. I hope she will continue to develop her descriptive abilities. If she does she might give J.K.Rowling a run! Five stars, and to the author, well done you. Cheri Hefley Grubbs
I liked this, I am reading all three sequentially at once, and occasionally (it happened in the third book for the first time) I did have to remind myself that Paige is only 19 or, I guess 20 at this point. And things happen that you sort of suspect that won't happen to her in about ten years. Like, was anyone really surprised about Jaxson? Who exactly he was in the whole scheme of things was a little surprising, but more because that sort of seemed like something not planned but, oh, you know what? on the author's part.
