With a new King on the throne of the fairy kingdom, Annwyn and the mortal worlds in disarray, Henry seizes the opportunity to carve out a place of his own. A court for the banished cast aside by Annwyn. Felan, the new King of Annwyn, has one last mission for his spy Darah. He wants her to join the darkling’s Court and discover why Henry is gathering a banished army.
