Haunted by the war with Hybern and the losses she cannot forgive herself for, Nesta Archeron has retreated into anger, isolation, and self-destructive habits. Forced to confront her demons through rigorous training alongside Cassian, the powerful Illyrian warrior who challenges her at every turn, Nesta gradually discovers strength in herself and an unexpected sisterhood with other wounded women. But as their fiercely passionate attraction grows, dangerous alliances among the human queens threaten the fragile peace of Prythian, while Nesta's extraordinary powers may prove essential to protecting those she loves. Facing deadly trials, painful memories, and enemies both within and beyond the Night Court, Nesta must decide whether she can accept friendship, love, and a future she once believed she did not deserve. Perfect for readers craving an emotionally intense fantasy romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, found family, warrior training, and hard-won healing.
