The Unseelie are making their move on Faerie, and Seelie High King Oberon is still missing. If Oberon doesn’t return to defend his throne, the Unseelie will reign, Petra and Nicole will remain prisoners of their Unseelie blood father, and winter will descend on Faerie.

After her victory in the battle of champions, Petra thought she was a step closer to freedom from her sovereign and the politics of Faerie.
