This is taking place after Silver Flames. Personally, I think we got insight into some characters and completely lost some others. This will spoil Silver Flames. I chose to put it after Silver Flames because I think the world has more to play with. Silver Flames involve more monsters and tools from the past and focus on other beings instead. The reason I loved the first three books was because it felt nice to read about magic and family, not for the plot. But Silver Flames had to make a new plot, which was confusing at first, but then was ok. I personally didn't see the point of putting Cassian and Nesta together (what brings them together or their similarities). Also, Rhys and Feyre was so useless in that novel, and it was the main character (back then Feyre, now Nesta) that kept saving everyone's ass, and once the other stops being the main character, they felt absent, occupied with their own problems. I liked how Feyre has more of a calm personality and seems to always make the right choices, whereas before maybe because it was first person, I didn't really know her personality. However, we completely lost Rhys, Cassian, Lucien (already slipping after book 1), whilst Az was boring. But I like the exploration of the world, even though I preferred just beautiful escapism and description of pretty courts, etc. So although I don't think I will do a good job, I will try to incorporate what I liked about Silver Flames, and try change what I didn't like - so it might get a little confusing, but this is just for enjoyment.
Two years have passed since Mikael Anik and Estelle Marzena survived the Illyrian Blood Rite and were mated. They've finally settled into their new life together, back in the Dawn Court. However, the peace they've known thus far is almost at an end. For months, Estelle has suffered nightmares of the events that took place on Ramiel, and they are growing worse with each day that her questions remain unanswered.
It is time for the mystery to be unraveled, but what will it cost to do so? There is more at stake now than either of them could have imagined. Are they facing an isolated threat, or is it possible that some ancient foe lurks within Prythian's borders, waiting for her chance to strike?

This story takes place several years after A Court of Silver Flames and follows the storyline I have set out in my previous fanfictions. This fanfiction may not fall in line with the actual storyline once the ACOTAR series is continued, and it will NOT be updated to match it.
Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real elements. There will be chapters dealing with sexual content, rape, abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering.
