Sypnosis: One king is dead, and the other is in chains.

Tir n’Aill perches on the edge of a knife in the wake of a series of betrayals that has shaken the fae to the core.

Abigail finds herself questioning who is friend and who is foe. When she is forced to make her decision between mercy and love, she finds her choice is one that might tear the very world apart.

Forces gather to wage war and decide the fate of Tir n’Aill. And in the center of it all, Abigail is nearly torn in two, caught between her desire to protect her new people and her love for Valroy.

For he is now the Unseelie King. The world is his to burn.

And only she can stop him.

Review: This book was a complete letdown. In fact, the entire series to this was a letdown.

Abigail finally grew some balls but it was not enough to really redeem her character in my eyes. I honestly don't understand why this could not happen in the beginning. Perhaps this would have saved the paper it was printed on.

The ending to this story was anticlimatic and did nothing to make me like this story any better. I think the only characters that made this story worth reading were the secondary characters. They made the story much more enjoyable and kept me turning the page.

This series could have been something more if the FMC and MMC were much more serious when it came to love. Again, I understand the way Valroy is. He is Unseelie. He is something primordial and he was born not understanding love. I felt sorry for him because he felt the love finally and yet it seemed to be turned into a game of cat and mouse in the end.

I am glad to see this series end. I don't think I could take another book in this series.
