Elora promised to help Prince Brannik become the High King of all six fairy courts. However, the innocent agreement turned into deadly trials. Swordsmanship alone is not enough to achieve victory. There is much more at stake: the fate of all of Faerie. Moreover, Brannik is bound by an unbreakable oath to the queen of another court, Alessandra. It turns out that the prince is a puppet in the hands of the enemy. The elixir temporarily erased the queen's memory, but once she remembers the prince, there will be no turning back. One word from her and the prince will lose the test. Risking her own life, Elora is ready to do anything for the prince to win the throne. Even going beyond the Court of Poisonous Thorns. But why, if danger awaits a girl at every turn in Feyria, does she so desperately want to stay there?
