Castle Crown and Conscience- Back Cover "If you think the world is crazy now, you should have been around in the Middle Ages", says author Flores. This time-travel novel transports its reader to the political intrigue of kings and queens which amazingly reflects the news of today. People in power want to keep it. People without power want to get it. The struggle for this power enhances such conniving greed and kingdom-wide evil that good people of the time cannot seem to catch a break. Sound familiar? It should. 'Castle Crown' is a shameless reflection of today's world as it would have existed in Medieval times, complete with sly and unscrupulous businesspeople, butt-kissing sycophants...and good people trying to live honest lives in the middle of all that. And who is the undisputed leader of all this nastiness? The arrogant, undisciplined egotist who sees himself as King and has no understanding of the lawful function of the role. Imagine that! When trickery and greed replace truthfulness and fairness, what happens to a kingdom? When cunning and impulse replace leadership and thoughtfulness, what happens to peace? You know what happens, don't you? You know what to expect. You see it all around you, today. If that is true, where do Consciences fit in or is war inevitable? Read on...Here is where castles, crowns and Consciences collide.

'One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade' TIME Never trust an assassin. Celaena's story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion - not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart. Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to fight for. The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman's truth is the only thing that can save them all.
