Part of A Court of Thorns and Roses
First published 2020
Feyre walks back through the gates of the Spring Court carrying a secret. She is there to spy on Tamlin, to pull apart his alliances from the inside and learn what she can about the king whose army is pushing toward her world's borders. One wrong word, one cracked expression, and everything she loves is gone. She plays the role of the returned lover while feeding intelligence back to Rhysand and the Night Court. But the deception costs her, and the war does not wait. Armies are moving. The High Lords, each cunning and dangerous in their own way, must be courted or confronted. Feyre is still learning what her stolen powers can do, and she is still learning what it means to hold political standing among the High Fae. At the center of all of it is the question of who can be trusted and who will turn when the pressure gets high enough. Feyre and Rhysand search for allies in corners they would not have thought to look before. The third book in Sarah J. Maas's Court of Thorns and Roses series, this is the novel where the war arrives and the cost of surviving it becomes real.
