What this book is about
Eugenides, the Queen's Thief, is caught by the ruthless Queen of Attolia, who exacts a devastating punishment. The second Queen's Thief novel is significantly darker than The Thief, dealing with serious physical trauma, political manipulation, and war, with Megan Whalen Turner's deeply layered plotting operating at a new level of complexity. One of YA fantasy's most beloved sequences.
