New York Times best-selling author Juliette Cross delves back into her dark Gothic world of Northgall for the final book in the trilogy.
An ancient evil has been sleeping deep in the mountains beneath the shadow fae city, Gadlizel. Now it’s wide awake, and the fate of the fae world rests on Prince Torvyn’s shoulders. His father, the king, is now possessed, and the dark one is infecting his people while feeding upon the blood of innocents. His only hope is a moon fae witch who lives in a mystical forest near the Borderlands.
Aelwyn has been hunted most of her life, abducted by those who would use her powers, and has escaped burning at the stake…twice. She isn’t surprised, nor unprepared, when Prince Torvyn barges into her woodland home, demanding her help. Rather than hex him and send him on his way, she’s convinced by her magick—and her conscience—that she must help him stop the dark one spreading death across the fae world.
When Aelwyn arrives in the opulent city of Gadlizel, she discovers far more than she bargained for. Now, not only is Aelwyn’s guarded heart at stake, but so is her life. While Prince Torvyn battles the royal court and his own father to protect her, he cannot fight a centuries-old evil that targets Aelwyn for his blood bride. And we all know that love cannot conquer death…or can it?
