From the New York Times-bestselling author, the long-awaited sequel to East, filled with “adventures both fantastic and emotionally authentic” (School Library Journal, starred review).
 
When Rose first met Charles, he was trapped in the form of a white bear. To rescue him, Rose traveled to the land that lay east of the sun and west of the moon to defeat the evil Troll Queen. Now Rose has found her happily-ever-after with Charles—until a sudden storm destroys his ship and he is presumed dead.
 
But Rose doesn’t believe the shipwreck was an act of nature, nor does she believe Charles is truly dead. Something much more sinister is at work. With mysterious and unstoppable forces threatening the lives of the people she loves, Rose must once again set off on a perilous journey. And this time, the fate of the entire world is at stake, in this thrilling tale of danger, magic, adventure, and revenge—the follow-up to the beloved high fantasy
East, which was nominated as one of NPR’s list of all-time best young adult novels.

Praise for this book

"In this luminous companion to East, Rose confronts new dangers and old enemies in a high-stakes game in which the fate of the world--and everyone she loves--hangs in the balance. If I'm ever in a life-or-death struggle against impossible odds, I want Rose by my side." - Cinda Williams Chima

""What a worthy sequel to the amazing East! Of course Rose's "happily ever after" would include more adventure. This journey was even more poignant, as she fully understood the stakes and the dangers this time. Once again, readers will be in awe of Rose's courage and her devotion, and will long for her triumph in the end--even at great cost." - Margaret Peterson Haddix

"Humans and characters from magic fight for love and life against a dreadful enemy. I could hardly breathe as they battle for the fate of the world. There isn't a dull moment, only the risk to every life on earth!" - Tamora Pierce
