The war is over. But some have shattered hearts that cannot be fixed. They were broken once. Lost so many. But can one thing save them? Is it too late? And if the dead rise again, is there still a place for them in an ever-changing world? If the Cauldron malfunctions.... They may all die before the new generation can set things right. A sequel to A Court of Fear and Longing, in a world of Sarah J. Mass's imagination, is there still such a thing as happily ever after?
