This breathtaking sequel to The Beholder will take you on a journey into a darkly sparkling fairy tale, perfect for fans of The Selection and Caraval.

When Selah found true love with Prince Torden of Norway, she never imagined she'd have to leave him behind. All because the Beholder's true mission was a secret Selah's crew didn't trust her to keep: transporting weapons to the rebels fighting against the brutal tsarytsya, whose shadow looms over their next port of Shvartsval'd. A place Selah hoped she'd never go.

But gone is the girl who departed Potomac filled with fear. With a stockpile of weapons belowdecks and her heart hanging in the balance, Selah is determined to see the Beholder's quest to its end.

      In this sequel to THE BEHOLDER, narrator Emily Rankin picks right up with the main character, Selah, being forced by circumstances to leave her true love and embark on a dangerous mission. Along with two friends, she is arrested by the evil tsarytsya, a tyrant seeking to conquer the world. Rankin creates a nice rapport between the three young heroines. In contrast, she fashions an air of suspicion and distrust among the tsarytsya and her two female advisors, the head of the military and the head of the secret police. Rankin shows Selah's growing assertiveness as she learns from hardship and the tsarytsya while keeping her friends and allies alive through sheer audacity. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine

      Grades 9-12 Selah is not the same girl who left Potomac to find a husband on her stepmother's orders. She found love with Prince Torden of Asgard, but she found a quest, too, so she must keep sailing. With the crew of the Beholder, she sails into the Imperiya, the territory that has haunted her nightmares, carrying a secret stockpile of weapons for the rebellion against Baba Yaga, the brutal tsarytsya who rules the land with darkness and fear. The first half of this sequel to The Beholder (2019) is filled mostly with Selah's third suitor visit, which, unlike her romantic first, is a fearful farce; this time, Bright draws from German fairy tales, recreating "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." But Baba Yaga is an ominous presence, and both Selah and the reader know that, eventually, she will appear. Eminently readable, this duology will delight any fan of fairy tales or high adventure. Readers may have their favorites of Selah's suitors, but they will cheer as she learns to follow her heart and her feet in this darker, but still glittering, second half.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
