War is coming, the world is falling apart, and everyone is looking to her to fix it. Trick Michael, the High King of Nightmare, is ruthless, calculating, and terrifyingly powerful. He is also one of the few people Kyra can trust, even when she probably shouldn’t. Their connection runs deeper than soulmates, sealed by a magic assumed to be unbreakable, but with the shattering of the Eye of Orion, things that had seemed so unbreakable before, start to crack. As Kyra and her new faithful friend, a dragon called Viserion, build a court out of broken people and unlikely alliances, she starts to realize how damaged this world truly is, and she vows to stop at nothing to fight for her people. Betrayals cut deep. Loyalties are tested. And Kyra starts to lean in ways she never thought she would. Sometimes, what this world needs is a villain. Just not the one we all believed it to be. less
