The die is cast.
The era of Spring is over.
Riadneâs bloody coup on the Summer Solstice changed Arloâs life forever. In one fell swoop and a foolâs bargain, she lost both her family and free will to the newly crowned High Queen. Now, with Arlo forced to use her powers as Luckâs Hollow Star to help summon the rest of the seven deadly sins, Riadne stands closer than ever to achieving her dark goals.
And Arlo isnât the only one trapped in a frightening new role. Her ex-Fury girlfriend, Nausicaä, is determined to do whatever it takes to stay by Arloâs side, even if that means becoming Riadneâs pet assassin. Aurelian and Vehan, torn apart, struggle to survive on their own.
Meanwhile, Celadon has been revealed as Riadneâs illegitimate sonâand heir to both Spring and Summer, the ultimate offense in the faerie world. But the High Prince has secret plans of his own, plans made all the more complicated when the beautiful and deadly immortal Hunter Lethe takes an interest in himâŚ
Five budding legacies will need more than luck if they hope to stand a chance against the greatest adversary the Courts have faced. For nothingâs more dangerous than a faerie tale⌠except the one who tells it, and maybe what theyâre going to need is no longer that storyâs hero but its villain.
