War threatens Feyre’s world, and her return to the Spring Court has a purpose: gather information about Tamlin’s plans and the invading king. To do so, she must sustain a dangerous deception, where a single mistake could put everything she holds dear at risk.

The conflict is also a test of power and allegiance. Feyre struggles to master her magical and political abilities while balancing her ties to her court and family; she and Rhysand must weigh whom to trust among the High Lords and seek allies in unexpected places.

As the third novel in A Court of Thorns and Roses, the story expands into a conflict in which mighty armies struggle for control of something that could destroy them all. The stakes reach beyond Feyre herself: a single misstep in her dangerous deception could threaten everything she holds dear.
