First published 2022
Poppy faces revelations about the Blood Queen that shake everything she believed possible. The scope of the Blood Queen's actions defies comprehension. Casteel Da'Neer, who knows the Blood Queen's cunning and cruelty better than most, never anticipated these shocking truths. Poppy refuses to retreat. She will liberate her King and tear down everything the Blood Crown represents. The Primal of Life's guards stand with her. The wolven offer their support. Yet Poppy must still persuade the Atlantian generals to wage war according to her strategy. Only this approach offers hope for a future where both kingdoms exist in harmony. Poppy and Casteel must blend old traditions with new methods to shield those they love and guard the defenseless. But war marks just the start. Ancient primal powers have awakened, exposing the terrible events that began ages past. To stop what the Blood Queen started, Poppy may need to fulfill her prophecy and become her greatest fear.
