Crane escaped justice, and now he’s hunting me through the High Priestess’s court. I’m trapped in the Divine Residence, spirit-linked to a knight I don’t trust, and the newest plaything to the most powerful woman in the fae realm. I can’t refuse her demands, can’t stop manifesting in the Garden when I go to bed, and can’t reveal that my mating marks have been put to sleep… or that I’m human.
To make matters worse, the novices tormenting me in the Black Tower have gone eerily silent. They’re planning something and I’m afraid I won’t survive their retribution.
On top of that, the leaders of the Black Guard have sworn to protect me while I’m in the Garden: the fierce Lord Commander Rider, the charming Lord Quill, and the beautiful Talon. But I can’t forget how they turned their backs on me when I needed them most in the Gray, and it’s difficult to remember what I should and shouldn’t know about them to keep my secrets.
Everything is getting more complicated, and I yearn for the one person who makes me feel safe, who I can trust. Ash. Except he’s been banned from the Divine Residence and I’ve no way of getting to him.
It’s too soon for it to all fall apart. If I can’t survive the novices’ revenge, the High Priestess’s games, and the predator hunting me, my sacrifice to save my brother will have been for nothing…
