It's been months since the fall of Godstone, and Ivy is still dealing with the nightmares that followed after her father's death. The entire North has fled with the Blackebournes after Helvarr conquered their home, but after some planning and grieving, they're finally ready to take it back.
Rayner was thrown into a role he didn't expect to fill for years to come, yet he must live up to what's expected of him, but it's the most challenging thing he's ever done. While rallying allies and building his army, Rayner is constantly burdened with thoughts of his wife. Correlyn was taken as they fled the battlefield, and every second away from her is eating away at the young king.
Ivy and Finn revisit the place they first met, where they fell in love, but their defeat mocks the happiness that they once associated with the island, yet Finn is determined to change that. After an attempt on Ivy's life, Rayner and the group learn that Helvarr has scouts all across the land, and it's time they move.
With allies sailing north with them, the Blackbournes meet a group of people who were thought to be a myth, and their power combined with Kyatta's might be enough to win back their home.
With new romances, friendships, and losses, The Girl with the Iron Heart will have you rooting for new love, crying for lost characters, and ready to fight alongside Ivy and her family as they take back what was always theirs.
Together we stand unbroken. The reign of King Rayner has begun.
