Months have passed since the old worlds ended, and Elwyn has yet to find her place in the new one. Her fortunes turn when she's presented with the opportunity she didn't know she'd been waiting for: a shot at revenge against the spectral menace whose meddling doomed her closest companions.

Brannon has traded a life of bloodshed for one of incense and mantras, and he regrets the decision. When forced to confront the brutes who shaped him, he becomes more volatile than ever before and seeks out a worthy target for his rage. In setting fire to his past, he might just burn down every bridge he's built since.

Plagued by guilt for failing his friends and kingdom, Aedyn is desperate for redemption but would settle for distraction. A chance for both arises when he's recruited for a dangerous mission involving monsters who could crush his heart with their bare hands and a woman who could do the same with a smile.

Together with a friend they'd thought lost forever, a courageous fae warrior, and the embittered ward of their greatest foe, this ragtag group of ruffians ventures to an uncharted land filled with magic and mayhem. If they can uncover evidence of Unseelie plots, they could turn the tides of an inevitable war. If they fail, they might lose everything they cherish.
