Surrounded by enemies, she's never been further from her crown or closer to death. Amidst a betrayal they couldn't have anticipated, she'll do whatever it takes to find her way back to Lorian, before his fury lays waste to this continent. Alliances are being forged and broken, their enemies are unifying, and spiders are closer than ever before. They have only one chance to prevent the king from attaining god-like powers and enslaving every human, fae, and hybrid across the four kingdoms. The human king believes she's trapped and yearning for death. But he hasn't yet realized she'll stop at nothing to free her people. And he's the one who should be afraid.
