What A Court of Silver Flames is about
Nesta has never been an easy person to love. She is proud, quick to anger and slow to forgive, and being made High Fae against her will has left her carrying the horrors of the war with no place to put them. Even within the Night Court, she can't find where she belongs.
Then there is Cassian, a battle-scarred, winged warrior who seems to know just how to set off her temper. When the two are made to train for combat together, their sparring turns into something hotter. As the threat of war gathers again, both must face dangers from outside and from within themselves. This continues the Court of Thorns and Roses series and centers on Feyre's sister, with trauma, healing and romance at its core. It will suit readers already following the series.
