To become the rightful queen, Malin, along with the Lord of Shadows and his guild of thieves, enters the battle for the throne. Warriors from distant kingdoms have responded to their call, and a new war is approaching. But when dark fairies side with the Black Palace, Malin and Keyes are forced to take risks in order to get even the slightest hope of victory. They will have to forge an alliance with a ruthless sea fairy, find a cursed beast thought long dead, and even risk the lives of everyone they love by distorting the memories of fate itself. For Keyes and Malin, this war may be a chance for the happiness they have fought for so long ...or the cruel end of everything they love.
