Long live the Queen of Dreams.

As the new queen, Willa has more power than she ever dreamed. But those who hold power must risk everything to keep it, and the with the return of the Aeternalis, the fight for the kingdom grows more precarious by the day.

And it isn’t just her position that demands a steep price. As her connection to the island grows deeper, Willa feels pieces of her own magic slipping away. If she’s ever to be strong enough to defeat her enemies, she must discover the source of the shadow poisoning her thoughts and drawing her closer to the villain she always feared she would become.

Exiled on the mainland, Niko has one goal: survive long enough to get back what’s his—even if it means returning to the island that nearly destroyed him, and the woman who banished him. With no magic and his brother on his trail, Niko must use every bit of his cunning to reclaim what he’s lost. Because everyone knows, once something belongs to death…death never lets it go.

Heart-gripping romance and action ignite in this electric conclusion to the Darkly Dreaming Duet, where the line between dreams and nightmares become ever more blurred, and fairy tales are not the promise of a happy ending, but a grave warning.

Because all magic has a cost in Letum, but the price of love may be even higher.
