Sypnosis: When the prize is death, some games are better lost than won.
If she loses, she becomes his queen, and he unleashes war across Earth and Tir n’Aill alike. If she wins, he dies. The answer seems clear. But then why can’t she bring herself to want victory?

The longer Abigail wanders through his Maze of Shadows, the less sure she becomes of anything—allies, enemies, wrong, right, evil, good, hate…and love. With every twist and turn, her heart is more fully trapped in his snare.

Facing the choice of whether to win—and kill the Bloody Prince—or lose and become his queen, Abigail can’t decide which is worse. In fact, she is starting to think that she might no longer want to win at all.

No matter the cost.

Review: I am not even sure why I am bothering with this series. Maybe I have invested in the story and its characters and wish to see the full ending of their tale.

Or I am a masochist who enjoys torturing herself with a story that only frustrates her and ignites her anger toward the female lead.

Abigail was still annoying. Still an indecisive twit. I would have thought by the third book, she would have grown some balls on her and faced down our villainous Unseelie King, Valroy, but nope that did not happen. Instead, she freighted and bemoaned things that could have clearly made this novel a bit shorter.

And yet, here we are at a cliffhanger, and Abigail is still stupid.
