Gareth is caught between fighting for the love he never expected and the responsibility of the kingdom he never wanted. When both are threatened by the same external force, the Ancient One Lilith, he must find a way forward. Otherwise he may lose the love of the only woman to ever make him feel and end up the King of Nothing. With secrets and lies exposed, Astrid now knows her true heritage, and is drawn even closer to Gareth. But as she fights the remnants of the spell Lilith put on her, her forbidden love of Gareth may just be what saves... or curses the realms. Can they save the realms? Will their bond be strong enough to survive it if they do? Can they actually end the ages long conflict between Vampires and Fae even if they defeat Lilith together?
