Synopsis
The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey. Aislinn tends to the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan has left Huntsdale to wander, but after centuries of leading his court it is not long before the reality of being Summer King presses on him again, and he works from afar to strengthen his court. The conclusion of Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series.
