Power is something that is easily acquired but difficult to maintain. Jude learned this lesson when she relinquished control over the wicked king Cardan, in exchange for unlimited power.
Now exiled, the mortal queen of Faerie is powerless and shaken by Cardan's betrayal. She bides her time, determined to reclaim everything that was taken from her. The opportunity presents itself in the form of her twin sister, Taryn, whose life is in danger.
If she wants to save her sister, Jude must return to the treacherous Court of Faerie and confront her feelings for Cardan. Elfhame is not as she left it... It is overshadowed by the threat of war. As Jude becomes more deeply entangled in the enemy's schemes, she finds herself caught in political conflicts.
And when a dormant but powerful curse is unleashed, the panic that spreads throughout the land forces her to choose between her ambition and her humanity...
The final book of the stunning trilogy filled with twists and magic! (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
