Feyre has gone back to the Spring Court, but not in the way anyone there would expect. Her aim is to learn what Tamlin is planning, and doing so means living inside a lie where a single wrong move could cost her everything, and endanger her whole world with her.
Outside the court, an invading king is closing in on Prythian, and the land is close to being broken by him. Feyre has to judge which of the dazzling and dangerous High Lords can be trusted, and she must look for allies in places she would never have thought to check. Armies are gathering, each side fighting to control the one thing that could ruin them all.
