In Calderi, a new husband and crown can only distract Sori for a brief moment before she remembers dangers wait outside the palace walls. She has new reason to fight against the monsters. Protecting her people calls for the need for unlikely royal allies and puts at risk a brother whom she had always protected. That was before he had betrayed her.
Loren knows better than most the darkness inside both monster and man, but it is nothing compared to the fury of the curse taking hold in Savriel. Priority is finding the beast who can control the rabid creatures before they wage war across the land. But a new threat emerges that could shatter Loren in ways he cannot fathom.
The fates of witches, royals, and monsters entwine. Which will survive the wraths of the others? Perhaps all will fall.
