Avia Jessup pounds the pavement as a reporter in Aeland, a nation still bleeding from recent upheaval. Fae creatures cross into her world while brutal winter storms batter the country. She digs into stories that lead her repeatedly to one name: Grace Hensley, the stunning Chancellor who holds the government together with careful words and hidden agendas. Avia once loved someone who pushed Miles toward a dangerous confrontation with truth. Now she finds herself drawn to Grace even as her journalistic instincts scream warnings. Every thread Avia pulls reveals more secrets. Grace guards information that could shatter what remains of their fractured country. Revolution simmers in the streets while supernatural forces reshape the political landscape. Avia must choose between her duty to expose corruption and her growing feelings for the woman at the center of every conspiracy. The decision will determine whether Aeland survives or burns in the aftermath of revealed truths.
