War has reached the shores of Helia once more. Despite a century of peace, The Horde has returned, bringing death and destruction to the prospering kingdom. An enemy has resurfaced, shaking the foundation of all that Evalyne Chevalier knows to be true, and left her reeling in its wake. Darkness and evil reign, led by the one who murdered her mother, long thought defeated.

After experiencing unfathomable loss, Eva finds herself alone. She is without her magic, without her mate, without her home—promised to the person she once trusted above all others, who has betrayed her so completely that he can never be forgiven. His obsession with her has become a living thing, hunting her in the darkness of her grief.

Can Eva learn to lean on those around her to escape this evil and save her kingdom? The fate of her people lies in her hands; she must find the strength to rise and reclaim her rightful place at Helia’s helm. But all hope is not lost, as her allies cross the kingdom, on a quest to save their future queen and end The Horde once and for all.

Eva has lost so much, but can she face the truth and unmask the traitors to save the ones she loves?
