Publisher's Synopsis
A hundred years ago, the kingdom of Ethelstan fell-and with it, the world fractured. The Dark Queen was defeated... but not destroyed.
Now, beneath the bloodlit sky of the Cold-Blooded Moon, something ancient stirs. Something patient. And very much alive. Evelin lived a quiet life-simple, untouched by war or magic. But when a summoning bound in forgotten magic calls her name, everything changes. Guided by a fae companion with secrets carved into his very essence, Evelin is pulled into a realm of ruined thrones, buried power, and a past that refuses to stay hidden. Far across the realm, in the brutal stronghold of Manroup, Avery Ashford is being forged into a weapon. And when the Wailing Wanders-an ancient army of shadows-rise once more, her path collides with the very heart of everything that was lost. A fallen kingdom. A hidden heir. And a darkness waiting to finish what it started.
