But how can she, when she is in the brutal hands of the very traitor who killed Myron? Especially when he is working with a man who has made it his mission to see her pay for her father’s crimes. With her magic gone, Ayna is trapped and shipped off to her childhood world, where she uncovers plans at work that eclipse even Ephegos’s revenge—and an enemy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

"I was the weak link in the chain, and the best I could do was surround myself with forces of the good. It would increase my chances of survival. But I couldn't replace Adam; not the way Ben meant.

But fate has different plans for her....

She saved her enemy. Now she must save the future of Sives. All Gandrett ever wanted was to go home. Now, that there is no home for her to return to, Gandrett must decide whether she still wants to be a Child of Vala - if the goddess has forsaken her. While Gandrett is still learning to control her magic, an old cult rises in Sives, estranging Gandrett further from her goddess and threatening the future of the kingdom.

With evil rising, every secret can change the course of history.The curse is broken. The Fae are free. And so is Gandrett - at least to walk away from the palace at Lei’Vreah, from the King of Fae who she supposedly is in love with, from the prince who almost died in her arms. Her friends are out there, needing her help. Mckenzie who is struggling at the Phornian court, and Addie, for who any help might come too late. And her brother - When Gandrett returns to Everrun in the hope of breaking free from the Order at last, she isn’t prepared for the mission the Meister sends her on.

But even with the forces they have gathered, the Human-Fae Alliance might not be enough to save Neredyn.

Not one moment of rest for Gandrett. Not as she sets out to rescue the Fae male who was taken from her just as she admitted her own feelings for him. Now, it is up to her—to her fighter’s mind, her determination, and to her growing magic that is expanding far beyond what she thought herself capable of. If she can hold on just a little longer, she could save them all—Addie, who is suffering in the Dragon King’s claws; Mckenzie, who is fighting her own battles in the southernmost territory; the young Lords of Ackwood and Eedwood, who are on their own; and her brother.

While Gandrett and Nehelon are struggling to fit into their new role at the Fae court and secure alliances, Valyn is making his own dangerous alliances. Addie is left to face the aftermath of a battle that redefines her relationship with the Dragon King, while in the west Brax Brenheran is presented with unexpected support and a theory that could change the course of the war.

In this third installment in Angelina J. Steffort’s Shattered Kingdom series, Gandrett must fight the biggest battle of her life: the battle of her heart.
