The curse is broken. The Fae are free. And so is Gandrett—at least to walk away from the palace at Lei'Vreah, from the King of Fae who she supposedly is in love with, from the prince who almost died in her arms.

Her friends are out there, needing her help. Mckenzie who is struggling at the Phornian court, and Addie, for who any help might come too late. And her brother—

When Gandrett returns to Everrun in the hope of breaking free from the Order at last, she isn't prepared for the mission the Meister sends her on—or for what it will cost her.

At least she has a new friend who is ready to fight and die at her side. If only it weren't for the Fae prince she left behind in Ulfray, and the promise he made, she would sleep better—and think better. But something is changing within Gandrett, and there is no denying that eventually, it may cost her everything.
