The most recent attempt on Adelaide's life almost took her mate's life instead. After saving Osmund, Adi realized she must be ruthless in defense of her mates.

The rest of her problems aren't so clear-cut. All she wants to do is explore the depths of her mate bonds with Osmund and Bryn.

However, the pregnancy her grandmother is hoping for is not forthcoming, leaving Adi without claim to-and protection of-the throne. Rivals and others who won't support her rule, given her questionable bloodline, won't simply stand by.

Adi can't even make the journey to her mate's homelands without fearing it will draw her attention away from her duties and the dark plots that swirl around her. And threats are brewing from without as well as from within: rebel factions-the same that would kill Bryn if he dared leave-are gaining power.

Plus, Bryn's confusing new visions seem to foretell some kind of veiled destiny that hangs over them like a cloud. Will Adi and her mates be able to keep each other safe as danger mounts from all sides? Will Adi be able to take the throne and alter the path of the Fae for the better? Will Adi determine if she even wants to rule the decadent and callous Green Court before a foe topples her or fate decides for her? Or will her sudden infatuation with an unseelie guard become the most unexpected danger of all?.
