When Nesta dances with Eris, she discovers something unexpected in his calculating gaze-recognition. Unlike Cassian who seeks to fix her or the Night Court that treats her as a burden, Eris sees her true nature: a queen without a crown.
In his arms, political obligation transforms into something dangerous. When he proposes marriage, offering not just escape from her gilded cage but a throne of her own, Nesta faces her most crucial decision. The Autumn Court runs dark with blood and Beron Vanserra casts a shadow more terrible than his son's burning eyes.
Would accepting mean trading one prison for another? Or could their alliance forge something revolutionary-two equals who refuse to kneel, even to each other? For the first time, Nesta might not just stand on her own, but rise with a crown upon her head.
