Vivi and Jude escaped and settled into a mortal life, Madoc rules Elfhame, Balekin disappeared with the blood crown, and Cardan was spirited away to the Undersea by Nicasia. Ten years pass. Jude blossoms into a competent barista and a semi-normal human. She lives a life of quiet anonymity in the city and brews a damn fine cup of coffee. Just don't get on her bad side, or she'll poison your latte with decaf. It would be a shame if a certain someone snaked his way into her life again. Pun fully intended. Seriously, he's going to be a big ass snake.

Jude Duarte is the Queen of Faerie, but few people know that. Married in secret then banished to the mortal realm, Jude has to find her footing again. She knows what she wants. She wants retribution. She wants what is rightfully hers. She wants a few other things she shouldn't want. More than anything, she wants to go back. But before she can return to Faerie, its High King finds her. And neither Jude nor the rest of the world is entirely prepared for Cardan.
