Prince Briar Drayce rules the Water Court in a realm still healing from the Great War. The Fae Courts and mortal territories have spent centuries rebuilding their shattered world. When the Wind Princess calls for a meeting, Briar agrees without hesitation. He has always maintained peace between the courts. But her request pushes beyond acceptable boundaries. Briar must choose whether to risk the fury of the Fae Courts, the entire realm, and the gods themselves. Meanwhile, Rayner once served as the Ash Rider to Moranna, Baroness of a hidden colony in the Southern Islands. He believed she protected the Fae under her rule. When he discovers her true nature and darkest secrets, he swears to destroy her and everything she has built. His rebellion triggers a curse that transforms him into the Reaper. Violence, loss, and unlikely partnerships mark his path back to revenge. Some nightmares refuse to end.
