The second book in the all-new Golden Court romantasy trilogy.
A secret song. A hidden fortress. A world on the brink of war.
Royal guard Sadie Rauxtide has been grappling with how she’ll fit into the Golden Court, after the long, tyrannical reign of the evil sorceress has finally ended. But all thoughts of peace are lost when rival Wolf king Nero kidnaps the new Queen’s friend and mentor, Ora.
Sadie along with Navin and Maez are tasked with discovering Nero’s secrets. Yet Navin is hiding things too, and Sadie must uncover them, all while battling her growing attraction to the man who betrayed her. She may have a mission, but the heart wants what it wants and fate has its own magic.
Meanwhile, Queen Calla is forced to seek help from the Ice Wolf pack’s queen to stop Nero’s prejudicial rule. But when she repeatedly dismisses Calla’s new gender identity and is unwilling to help rescue Ora, Calla must battle between diplomacy and being their true self.
As war brews and Sadie and Calla struggle to gain support, the pair will discover that the world of Aotreas is more than it seems.
