Some Fae will kill to hear the truth—others will kill to bury it.

A new crown erases the old regime with ruthless speed as the Court of Light mourns. Advisors move to consolidate their power over the throne amidst the fallout. Jarvok is left with rage, guilt, and doubt takes root beneath his kyanite armor.

The Oracles deliver a prophecy that predicts the fate of the Fae, but staged chaos leaves only one witness to hear the cryptic reading—an advantage that can control what the Courts believe, what they fear, and who they trust.

Enemies race to seize that knowledge and silence its source, and destiny forces an unlikely alliance of misfits to run toward the fire—because one captive Fae may be the only chance left.
