Set directly after Empire of Storms, this story follows Aelin, Rowan, and the Court of Terrasen as they attempt to recover from the fateful visit on the beach, where Aelin was captured and the court went their separate ways. *SPOILER ALERT FOR EMPIRE OF STORMS* Will the Court of Terrasen ever be reunited...or is their story coming to an end? *All characters belong to Sarah J. Maas*

***Spoiler warning for Empire of Storms, but not Kingdom of Ash. Aelin is gone, vanished with Maeve. The hunt for her is relentless and all-consuming. But Maeve isn't playing by the rules, and there are even more problems in store for the court of Terrasen. NOTE: This story was written BEFORE KoA came out, and therefore no aspects of KoA were taken into account in writing it. This includes relationship developments, character developments, story arcs, plot points, or anything else. Please keep this in mind as you read. *** Cover art by @ToraTya *** I don't own any of the characters or most of the settings, they belong to Sarah J. Maas. Completed August 2, 2018
