As uprisings and rebellions rage across the realm, Áine grapples with the consequences of her perilous decision. Drowning under the burden of grief, guilt, and shame, she wrestles with the shadows for control of her body and soul. Though her fierce protector, Daelon, has gone cold and unreadable—he remains in the castle, compelled to watch the love of his life get ever closer to his enemy. When Lucius urges his new Queen to help him squash the revolution, Áine is forced to decide once and for all: fight for the realm or submit to the shadows.

With the fate of Aradia in Áine's hands, she must choose between letting the love of her life die or submitting to the Shadow King. While rebellion against the Kingdom intensifies across the realm, Áine, Daelon, and the Icierans are drawn to Aurora Aurea, where witches are gathering to build an army. Áine and Daelon's relationship is put to the test when Daelon's body and mind are ravaged by poison. As the sickness draws out Daelon's dark side, Áine must reckon with her own shadow self, a beast that grows ever stronger as her mountain of secrets reaches new heights.
