The Monarchs

by Kass Morgan, Danielle Paige

Overview

In this thrilling conclusion to New York Times bestselling authors Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige’s The Ravens duology, loyalty, love, and friendships are tested as sorority sisters Scarlett and Vivi must face the forces of hell itself when a rival sorority threatens to wreak havoc on campus.

The ultra-exclusive Kappa Rho Nu—the Ravens—are determined to restore balance to the world. After destroying an ancient talisman and barely saving their sorority in the process, they’ll go to any lengths to keep their secret as Westerly’s most powerful coven of witches.

Scarlett Winter, a legacy Raven, has finally gotten what she’s always wanted: Scarlett is Kappa Rho Nu’s newest president. Unlike her mother or older sister before her, Scarlett has a vision for a more unified Kappa, one where no sister falls to the forces of wicked magic. But the powers of the presidency have their own pitfalls. And with the pressures of alumni bureaucracy and past failures weighing on her, Scarlett finds herself at risk of losing the very thing that defined her: her magic.

As a new member of Kappa Rho Nu, Vivi Devereaux finally knows what it’s like to belong. She has her Kappa Rho Nu sisters behind her and, with Scarlett’s blessing, Vivi’s happily dating her first college crush (who also just happens to be Scarlett’s ex). When Scarlett assigns Vivi the coveted role of social chair, Vivi is determined to live up to her Big’s expectations. But Vivi’s studies in witchcraft take a deadly turn when she uncovers a new form of magic, one that has mysterious ties to Kappa Rho Nu’s past and the vengeful demon once tied to their talisman.

With the weight of their newfound roles and the terrible price of destroying the talisman haunting them, Scarlett and Vivi must save their sisterhood when the forces of hell itself and a rival sorority threaten to unleash havoc on the Ravens.

From the Publisher

2021-10-26
Sorority witches confront consequences and reveal new truths in this follow-up to The Ravens (2020).

Life is (somewhat) back to normal at Westerly College after former coven member Tiffany went on a murderous rampage. Starting in the semester following the events of the previous book, Scarlett Winter and Vivi Devereaux are determined to leave the traumatic past behind them. Scarlett fills the position of Kappa Rho Nu president after her predecessor’s grisly death, and Vivi, though just a freshman, takes on the demanding role of social chair. Meanwhile, the Ravens grapple with squabbles with rival sororities, roller-coaster love lives, and hosting an important visit by alumnae (the titular Monarchs). Vivi also begins to unearth insights into her absent father, and Scarlett seeks to adjust Kappa traditions in order to avoid repeating previous mistakes. Conflicts surrounding interpersonal trust, reconnecting to one’s family, and a new aspect of this world’s original magic system are highlights, making sorority drama about one-upping their rivals through extravagant parties seem shallow in comparison. The first entry’s rapid pace continues here, however, with a storyline that never slows down before reaching a satisfying and tidy finish. Vivi is White; Scarlett is Black; and the rest of the cast includes a diverse array of ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Fans will certainly enjoy this duology closer. (Fantasy. 14-18)
