The Fifth Nicnevin Books in Order

With a besieged city behind her and her Guard divided by mistrust, Rhoswyn struggles to claim her place in the faerie realm. Saving her brother leaves her far from safety, pursued by someone who should protect her.

A mysterious illness has confined Rhoswyn to an isolated human village until a fae knight identifies her as a hidden queen. Returning to the faerie realm means finding her scattered Guard and confronting a kingdom fractured by war.

Rhoswyn must win the allegiance of the faerie courts before the Fomorians overwhelm her people. A pilgrimage through the southern courts tests her uncertain authority, while the demands of her magic and her mates complicate every negotiation.

Betrayal and imprisonment leave Rhoswyn wounded and her Guard broken as the faerie kingdom approaches disaster. To restore their alliance and master her power, she must decide whether to trust Caed, whose help carries dangers of its own.

Elfhame has fallen, and Elatha now rules the realm Rhoswyn was meant to protect. Reclaiming the throne requires her to reunite her Guard and bring the four courts together before the conqueror's hold becomes impossible to break.
