Thamlin, the supreme ruler of the Court of Spring, makes a deal with the ruler of the Sleepy Kingdom, who has gathered to seize and subjugate all of Prithiania to his power. The king’s armies are about to invade the fairy lands. Endowed with magical abilities and having gained immortality, Feyra leaves the Court of Night, realizing that in this situation doing nothing is as good as dying. But which of the great rulers—entangled in old contradictions—can she trust now? Where can she look for allies? Feyra has only one thing left: for the salvation of Prithiania, she must weave a web of lies, betraying her own nature.
