Description
Jude Duarte, a mortal who became queen in the perilous realm of Faerie, is now exiled, powerless, and shaken by King Cardan’s betrayal. She waits outside the court for a chance to reclaim what he took, but that chance arrives through a life-threatening predicament involving her twin sister, Taryn. Returning means entering the political world that cast her out and facing dangers that threaten not only Cardan but the land itself. Jude must solve a crucial riddle while deciding whom she can trust and what she is willing to risk for power, family, and Faerie. The court fantasy centers on a heroine forced to act without security, caught between wounded ambition and obligations she cannot abandon.
