About the Book

"After Lor makes the biggest mistake of her life, she finds herself on the run from the Aurora King and decides it's time to end this, once and for all. But when a new enemy emerges to claim her freedom, the entire fate of Ouranos comes to rest on her shoulders. As the land continues to rebel, Lor must admit she is the key to saving the continent, whether she likes it or not. To fight for Nadir, she must lie, steal, and do whatever it takes to hunt down the remaining arks. Growing more and more desperate, she worries her actions are turning her into something she doesn't recognize, dooming her to repeat her grandmother's mistakes. When the Aurora King finally comes for her, Lor ventures into the Underworld's shadowy depths, where, once again, she finds herself at the heart of another deadly test. Only this time, she's competing for everyone's future, not just a crown. The only thing Lor ever wanted was to be free, but she may soon find she was always destined for a cage"--

Book Synopsis

The epic fourth novel in the irresistibly sexy BookTok phenomenon . . .

Some mistakes can't be undone, and Lor now faces the crushing consequences of her wild, fae magic. She's already set events in motion, and there's no escaping the relentless pursuit of the Aurora King. Everyone wants something from her, and her list of enemies keeps growing, each more powerful--and vindictive--than the last.

Lor is fighting for more than just her freedom. She's fighting for her soulmate, her family, and for a chance to bring peace to Ouranos itself. But with every blast of her uncontrolled Heart magic, Lor risks not only the lives of those she loves, but making the same, doomed mistakes as her grandmother. Ones that ripped the very fabric of the kingdom apart.

Lor has no choice but to follow the path before her. Because powerful forces now shape and shift her fate--and the Heart Queen now faces the ultimate test . . . if she's ready.
