About this book
When Poppy falls into an unexpected stasis, Casteel is left grappling with the terrifying possibility that she might not come back to him—and so he does the only thing he can: he talks to her, pouring out memories of their beginning and secrets he's never shared with anyone but Kieran. Meanwhile, gods are stirring across the realms and war is looming on the horizon, forcing Cas to navigate a changing world while waiting desperately for the moment her eyes open again. This installment shifts to Hawke's perspective, giving us an intimate look at the fierce, complicated man behind the legend as he fights to hold onto hope. It's an absolutely swoon-worthy deep dive into one of fantasy romance's most compelling love stories—one that will wreck you and put you back together in the best way possible.
