This second book in the A Hundred Names for Magic trilogy is not
your average fairytale. An unforgettable alternative history
fairy-tale series from the author of The Bone Witch about found
family, modern day magic, and finding the place you belong. It's
been six months since the lost city of Avalon was thawed and
retaken. And Alex is doing his best to be a good leader, even
though he's not entirely sure what he's doing. He needs all the
help he can get, which is why his best friend, Tala, is by his
side. Unfortunately, when the Nameless Sword in the stone appears
suddenly in the castle courtyard, it brings a new set of problems.
Avalon custom dictates that anyone is free to try to pull it out,
attracting people from all walks of life and leaving the kingdom
vulnerable to attack. Attempts to infiltrate Avalon begin in the
form of mysterious portals that start appearing without warning
bringing nightwalkers, ice maidens, and even a surly dragon. When
the Snow Queen comes out of the woodwork with an unlikely ally and
attempts to open a portal to the legendary Buyan, a long-lost
country whose life-giving waters could make her even more powerful,
Alex, Tala, and their friends will have to work together to stop
her, even after their biggest betrayal leaves them broken.
