The Veil is breaking - and no one is supposed to know.
Lyra has spent three years guarding the border between realms, following one rule: defend the Veil, ask no questions. But when the barrier begins to splinter before her eyes, she can no longer ignore the truth the courts have murdered to hide. Dragged into a conspiracy that spans both the Star Court and the Thorn Court, Lyra must navigate a world on the edge of war. But the greatest danger isn't the failing barrier-it's the forbidden mate-bond that ignites with a prince she was taught to distrust. Now, marked for erasure and hunted by her own kin, Lyra must decide: obey the laws of her blood, or trust a bond that could either save the realms or destroy them both. Three souls will bind what was broken. But the price of binding has never been small.
