The quint has finally reunited, but their stunning new discovery changes everything. Just as Lera and the males navigate their redefined future, Owalin violently ups the stakes, giving the humans one hour to hand over their kingdoms. Lera must do all she can to help defeat him, even if that means facing down her own males and the humans themselves.

It’s the first day of the Prowess Trials, with all the royals - and the dark fae Owalin - gathered for Tye’s grand performance. When the magic wards fall right in the middle of Tye’s routine, Lera does what she must to save his life - giving Owalin just the opening he needs. River is in love with Lera, but he can’t be with someone who lies. As he turns his back on her to focus on defending the academy, he expects the decision to hurt.

Fending off Coal’s memories by night and his overprotectiveness by day, Lera is at her wits’ end - and the muscled warrior is only the start of her problems. With Han on his side, headmaster Sage now wants to move the Prowess Trials to the academy, gathering the continent’s royals right at the heart of the cracking wards - and the dark creatures leaking through them.

Two dark pasts. One bond beyond their control. For a month, Coal has tried to stay away from the beautiful cadet who makes him feel things he shouldn’t, each day of separation spiraling him deeper into worsening nightmares. Already on edge, it takes Coal one split second to plunge into violence - and find himself in shackles once more.

Scotland Yard is convinced it has its man, as he had means, motive, and opportunity.

Lera is walking a dangerous tightrope. By night, she takes off her veil to hunt the dark creatures leaking into the mortal world. By morning, she is Leralynn of Osprey again, failing her classes and dodging Deputy Headmaster River’s keen scrutiny. River is watching Leralynn like a hawk. A painful distraction, since the mouthy cadet stirs his soul - and other parts of him - with a mere glance. Which doesn’t matter. Lera is a student and River will ensure she toes the line, or else.
