book two

Follows the first

Book two is the second installment of a multi-volume work, typically a novel series or epic narrative.

The phrase functions as a title element: Book Two: The Rising Storm.

In casual speech, it refers to continuing where something left off: Ready for book two of our adventure?

Unlike "sequel," book two implies a planned series rather than a follow-up to success.
