A Realm Divided A Legacy Unraveled A Darkness Awakened After discovering her true heritage, Avalynn stands at a crossroads. She was raised in the Stromm palace as the heir to the throne, but now knows it was all a lie. Armed with the sword of power forged by her ancestors, Avalynn must rally the Sublands and face the darkness rising from her former home. But the greatest threat is not the cruel king she thought was her father, nor the fae warriors at his command—it is Mateo, the hunter she betrayed. Now that he is stepping into his birthright, Mateo is being consumed by his newfound power and the manipulations of his true mother. As the queen awakens deadly dragons long thought extinct from the icy reaches of the far north, Mateo is caught in a battle between his heart and his bloodline. With the prophecy looming over them, Avalynn and Mateo are fated to stand together or fall apart. As dragons soar and Houses crumble, Avalynn must confront the darkness within Mateo before both of their destinies are sealed forever. In a realm on the brink of war, will love be enough to save them, or will the shadows swallow them whole?
