When darkness descends upon the kingdoms, Althea Zoltaire is consumed by one burning goal: hunting down Wilder Hawthorne for the vengeance she's convinced she needs. But as she and her fierce companions chase him across treacherous lands, buried secrets begin surfacing—secrets that suggest nothing and no one are quite what they seemed. Caught between shattering betrayals and a destiny that reaches far beyond personal vendetta, Thea finds herself wrestling with impossible choices, dangerous magic, and the magnetic pull of a reunion that could either save or destroy everything she holds dear. Prepare yourself for an epic collision of enemies-to-lovers passion, heart-pounding danger, and a world where the stakes have never been higher—this is romantic fantasy at its most intoxicating.
