Daughter of Ruin (The Academy of Kindness, Book 2)

'I never met a Mark Lawrence book that I didn't love' ROBIN HOBB

'An excellent writer' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN

The viciously dark and epic sequel to Sunday Times bestseller, Daughter of Crows.

Mollandra Plight was born at the centre of an endless cycle of crime and punishment, guilt and revenge. She has lived as victim and victimiser, too strong to break, not strong enough to escape.

The Academy of Kindness was never the disease – it was a symptom. The sickness runs through individuals, generations, and nations. Mollandra has never sought a cure, such is the work of gods, not the dead.

She has crossed death’s river, seeking peace, ready to face judgement. But the monster that is her mother has pursued her even here and the fate of her youngest child still hangs in the balance. Perhaps Mollandra has already been judged as wicked and denied her rest. Certainly, she is not done fighting.

If anything can be saved, if anything can be salvaged, then it will require that she understand the lessons of her long life. Nothing can be forgotten. Nothing forgiven.
