Critics Review
Beautiful and gloriously poisonous, The Crimson Crown will enthral you. * Tasha Suri, World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne *
It’s always a pleasure to read a villain origin story that makes you go ‘Good for her,’ and Heather Walter pulls this off masterfully in The Crimson Crown. This is a lush, dark, riveting tale about all the things that can lie in a woman’s heart - power, rage, grief, vengeance - and it is spun in such haunting prose that it kept me on the edge of my seat all throughout. Simply gorgeous. * Thea Guanzon, USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars *
An alluring, vengeful origin story as you’ve never seen before. The Crimson Crown brings
tremendous dimension to a classic fairytale, ushering in the darkness you’ve always craved.
Walter’s deeply rooted point of view never falters and is supported by intricate worldbuilding
and a history of family, love, and betrayal - and the prices paid for each.
