THE CROWN OF SPLINTERED VOWS

Seven years, she sacrificed everything for her sister's freedom. Now the price of peace may cost her heart, and the price of love may cost both their worlds.

Six months after the fall of Ashwood Court's cruelest regime, Isolde Rivenfall has finally learned how to breathe. Her sister Mira is healing. Killian and Rosalind rule with a mercy this court has never known. The war that consumed seven years of her life is over.

She has no idea it's only just beginning again.

When the Seelie Court shatters three centuries of icy silence to request peace talks for the first time since the courts went to war, Ashwood's rulers turn to the one woman sharp enough, and scarred enough, to know an honest offer from a beautifully dressed trap: Isolde herself. Standing across the negotiating table is Corwin Ashveil, the Seelie envoy: golden, effortless, and so perfectly charming that every instinct she has ever trusted screams he's hiding something behind the performance.

She's right. She just doesn't yet understand how much they have in common.

As stolen letters surface a conspiracy centuries in the making, an ancient hunger stirs behind a sealed door in the far north, and the fragile new peace threatens to unravel from within, Isolde and Corwin are forced to choose, again and again, between the masks that kept them alive and the terrifying honesty of finally being known. Because some vows are stronger for having been broken and remade. And some crowns are only worth wearing once you understand exactly what they cost.

The Ashwood Court Trilogy continues, where love is a battlefield, trust is a weapon, and peace has never been more dangerous.
