Season 3 'Of Crows and Thorns'
***
While in RISING, Tabitha discovers something peculiar that may assist Nelle in her plan to escape the Keep. Decades later, her son unearths the secret life Tabitha continued to keep well after her marriage to Varen.
***
Nelle's twentieth birthday is soon approaching. The Witches Ball is not long after. Caged like a bird, her dark power bound, Nelle's first threat looms - the Crowthers' desperate need for a Goods Appraisal. Without the Butcher's approval, the family will never gain a rare invitation to the Ball. If they want to pique the Witches' interest with the curious offering they possess, they must enter the macabre and sinister Emporium.
While Nelle forms a plan to escape the Keep, Sirro has tasked Graysen to find an elusive lesser creature who lurks within the honeycombed catacombs beneath Ascendria. As Graysen searches, memories long buried resurface, revealing a crucial clue. Another beast knew where Tabitha Catt had been the fateful day she'd been abducted. And who she spoke with.
There's only one person Graysen can turn to for help.
She's a skilled monster hunter.
Someone he adores.
And his worst roomie nightmare.
