War brews and blood calls. After barely escaping the Blood Den alive, Zariah and Nevan are forced into hiding within the shadows of a kingdom in upheaval. As Zariah works to unite the resistance behind Nevan’s rightful claim to the throne, Nevan battles a growing hunger that threatens to consume him. They agree to bury the flame that once burned between them, to focus on survival and strategy. But the deeper they fall into the chaos of it all, the harder it becomes to deny the pull. When an inside source shares King Maddox’s plan to reignite the barely-settled feud with the fae, Zariah and Nevan flee to the Day Court, desperate to prevent a war that could destroy Valazica. There, ghosts of the past resurface, and Zariah is faced with a destiny she thought was long buried. Then comes the worst blow yet—news of a rare herb capable of killing the fae, growing in secret on the king’s order. With an entire greenhouse poised to become a weapon, and time running out, Zariah and Nevan must risk everything to stop the slaughter.

Twisting with court intrigue and forbidden longing, Zariah and Nevan's story resumes in Throne of Serpents and Lies, where power demands blood, and the truth may come at the cost of a heart.
