The epic conclusion of Eira’s saga of love, loss, and power.

A pirate doesn’t ask…they take.

Ravaged by grief and driven to the brink, Eira and her crew are caught at the heart of a tempest:

… Five kingdoms on the verge of war

… An empire poised to crush them all

… A pirate queen terrorizing the seas

… And a madman, the architect of every shattered dream, broken heart, and spilled blood. He is on the verge of achieving is dream of ushering in a new era—one ruled by his iron fist and fueled by blind, unwavering loyalty. His only mistake? He made it personal for the one woman powerful enough to stop him.

Eira is done playing by the rules. Done holding back her magic, her heart, and her fury. She’s ready to crush her enemies, their vision, and anyone who dares to stand in her way.

With everything on the line, Eira will show the world they were right when they called her “dangerous” all those years ago. She’s going to claim victory for herself, or die trying.

To enter the woods as a human means death… But I am no mere human. They call me, “witch.

As one of the last surviving witches, Faelyn's sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forests where the lykin roam—creatures who can shed flesh for fur—sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King's desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown.

Taken to the magical land of Midscape, the Wolf King claims her as his bride to control the moon spirit's magic that now resides within Faelyn. But Faelyn refuses to resign herself and the spirit Aurora to a life of servitude underneath the king's cruel rule. Faelyn hatches a dangerous plan for them both to escape and help comes from an unlikely ally.

Evander is the king's blisteringly handsome, loyal knight, right hand, and Faelyn's sworn protector…on the outside. But appearances are not what they seem. He plots against the king's brutality at every turn and helping Faelyn escape will serve these ends. But altruism for Faelyn and the trapped moon spirit isn't his only motivation… Evander is hiding secrets, and they might change Faelyn's life forever.

A desperate plot to escape. A brutal king. Ancient powers. And a sworn protector who can't keep his hands off her… Will she be taken as the Wolf King's bride? Or will she manage an escape that will free her heart and change her fate forever?
