Prince Tybalt thought he found his answer and happily ever after with Freya, but thanks to his mother's surprise revelation, everything is up in the air again. He's once again suffering a broken heart, but this time he has the perfect distraction?a plot to take his throne.

When he and his cousin, Klarissa, investigate the suspicious circumstances, they uncover a plot far darker and more dangerous than they originally suspected. With help from Miles, the resident priest, they discover that the best way to unravel the effects of the events at play requires someone who is no longer at the palace, and getting them back may mean directly defying the queen.

Meanwhile, Freya and Bash are working hard to bring down the magic hating cultas draíochta member by member. They quickly discover that the influences of the cult reach further than they previously expected, but destroying the cult means facing their pasts. As they navigate their discoveries, they also must navigate their growing feelings for each other, which presents issues of its own. Every day brings new challenges and risks, and every time they think they have things figured out, a new, darker discovery is made.

Time is running out for everyone, and if a solution can't be put into action by the next Fae moon, everything as they know it will change forever and Elodia will fall to darkness, never to rise again.
