Before long, however, all four friends face must heart-wrenching choices that threaten to have lasting impact, not only on the Five Kingdoms but also on the Kingdom of the Fey.
The thrilling third book in the trilogy ventures into the ever-treacherous landscape of the human heart, and the desperate choices to be made when all outcomes appear bleak.
