The contract is over. The bond is not.
Lyra Ashveil and Caelum Nightvale survived the Devouring, dissolved a century-old shadow weapon, and uncovered the truth about Lyra's Ashborne heritage. The contract that bound them is gone. The tether between them is not - and it's growing stronger by the day.
When they're sent to the Frost Court to forge an alliance before war breaks out, they must present a united front while Caelum's dark secret threatens to fracture everything they've built. The magic bond between them deepens in ways neither can explain, and someone at the Frost Court is watching them very carefully.
Because the most dangerous thing in fae politics isn't an enemy. It's someone who knows exactly what you'll do to protect the person you love.
- Forced proximity in enemy territory
- A magic bond deepening beyond their control
- Political intrigue, jealousy, and one very charged shared-bed scene
- A shocking reveal about Lyra's true parentage
