Life is looking pretty good for Madeline Bennet. She can finally see the magic to unlock the thresholds to Aparia, and her love life is more stable than it's ever been.
Sure, she and her favorite Griffon don't get a lot of quality time together. Also true, several shadow dragons are determined to destroy the human world. On top of that, there's a tiny glitch in the link that even Teagan didn't expect when he worked his Vulture magic on her and Rafe.
But all that becomes inconsequential when someone steps forward with the power to not only challenge Madeline's birthright, but threaten the safety of people on both sides of the thresholds.
The time has come for Madeline to choose a path. Will the Obsidian Queen claim her crown, opening the thresholds once and for all? Or will she quietly send the shadow creatures back to Aparia and live the Royal Guild-approved life she's always dreamed of?
Madeline is up against her greatest challenge, and only one thing is certain: she'll meet it head-on, in high heels and a skirt, with her knights and hairless cat by her side.
