As Mor finds herself drawn to Lyrra with certainty she can’t ignore, Lyrra is faced with feelings she has never allowed herself to consider before. Caught between the familiar world of her father’s shop and the pull of something entirely new, she must decide whether to stay within the life she’s always known or risk everything for a love that could change it.

At a friendly gathering in Velaris, she meets Helion Spell-Cleaver, High Lord of the Day Court — and the mating bond snaps into place instantly. For Helion, there is no doubt: Eveline is his mate. Now Eveline must navigate an impossibly affectionate High Lord, growing feelings she can’t ignore, and the comforting realization that maybe, after everything the Cauldron took from her, it also led her to where she was always meant to be.
In the brutal Illyrian camps, everyone fears the thief known as Ten Fingers. She steals from commanders, disappears like smoke, and has humiliated the warriors of Windhaven for years. No one knows the infamous criminal is actually sixteen-year-old Arenna — a homeless Illyrian girl with clipped wings and nowhere left to go. When Rhysand sends Cassian to hunt the thief down, he expects a hardened criminal. Instead, he finds a starving girl surviving alone in the shadows of Windhaven. Brought back to Velaris against her will, Arenna must decide whether she can trust the Night Court — and Cassian — before the secrets she stole from the Illyrian camps get her killed.
