A false king has taken command of the Iron fey and is spreading his poisonous realm across the Nevernever, and both the Summer and Winter courts face destruction. Meghan, the only one who can wield both ordinary and iron magic, must return and learn to control her new powers. With Ash, her loyal friend Puck and the mysterious cat Grimalkin, she travels into the heart of the iron lands to stop the war.
The stakes are higher than ever, with large battles, difficult alliances and sacrifices that change the characters. Meghan grows from a girl who is protected by others into someone who must make decisions for everyone. The romance between Meghan and Ash is a major thread, and the rivalry between Ash and Puck adds humour and tension. There is fighting and loss but no graphic violence. The ending is bittersweet.
Exciting, romantic and moving, the book that completes Meghan's main story, followed by The Iron Knight, told by Ash. Fans of the series will find it a satisfying, emotional climax. About 358 pages in the Harlequin Teen paperback.
