Part of Lore of the Wilds, book 2
First published 2025
Lore Alemeyu opens her eyes on a ship in the middle of the ocean. She is a prisoner with nowhere to run. The crew watches her with suspicion, a Fae she trusted has betrayed her, and somewhere out in the water lies the sun book, an artifact that could hand the Alytherian Fae a terrifying amount of power if the wrong person finds it first. Lore has to move through threats on deck and descend into the magical depths of the ocean to get to the sun book before anyone else does. The stakes are human freedom itself. At the same time, one Fae male has been at her side through all of it, and the pull she feels toward him is hard to ignore. Lore has been burned by Fae before. Trusting them again means gambling with her own heart and with the future of every human depending on her. This is the concluding volume of the series that began with Lore of the Wilds, and Analeigh Sbrana brings Lore's story to a full and passionate close.
