Description

After surviving the deadly Anama Trials and bonding with her raven spirit, Sorrena Faelan is finally strong enough to claim what’s hers. But victory comes with a price. To secure her future and unify the fractured realm of Thornwythe, she must travel to Druimfar—a ruthless land of iron, wolves, and unbending tradition—and enter an arranged marriage with the enigmatic wolf prince, Drayce Valtair.

Sorrena intends to rule, not bow. She’s counting on her fragile connection to Drayce to help her seize not only Druimfar’s throne, but Thornwythe’s as well.

But Druimfar bows to no woman.

From the moment she enters the gates of Ironcrest, enemies circle. The realm teeters on the edge of war. The king slips further into madness. And Sorrena guards a secret powerful enough to shatter the Eternal Chain and plunge all of Orenda into ruin.

Her only ally may be the stoic, ice-cold prince she was never meant to want—but whose presence she finds increasingly impossible to ignore. And every night, Sorrena is haunted by visions of her fated mate, Rhydian; a man destined to love her… and destroy her.

Caught between forbidden magic, unraveling conspiracies, and two men tied to her fate, Sorrena must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to save her queendom.

Because power is never free. And love may cost her everything.

After surviving the deadly Anama Trials and bonding with her raven spirit, Sorrena Faelan is finally strong enough to claim what’s hers. But victory comes with a price. To secure her future and unify...


Advance Praise

"Peterson continues to hold my heart in her pen with the emotions depicted in her characters, vivid descriptions of their experiences, and their captivating journeys. To say I have missed Sorrena and the found family she has built in the few months I’ve been waiting for this installment would be an understatement. This has quickly become one of my top favorite series, especially with the found family trope, and I’m thankful I get to experience the progression of the love and camaraderie as this family continues to grow." - Heather Harlow, ARC reader

"I read all three books in this series in a matter of days, as the world quite simply would not release its hold on me. Forgoing sleep, barely stopping to eat, this third installment had me forgetting reality completely in favor of engaging in all the court intrigue, betrayal and secrets, and found family with ironclad loyalty that NM Peterson has created." - Samantha Barrier

"I enjoyed the first book in this series, but the author went hard in this book! she definitely stepped up her game and what a wild ride it was." - Courtney, ARC reader
