Synopsis
Following directly on from The Iron King, this second novel in the Iron Fey series finds Meghan settling uneasily into the Winter Court, where she and Ash, a Winter prince, must conceal the relationship that formed between them despite the deep enmity separating their courts. Tensions flare when one of Queen Mab's sons is murdered by an Iron Fey and the Scepter of Seasons, a powerful artifact tied to the balance between Summer and Winter, is stolen in the aftermath. With suspicion and blame threatening to ignite open war between the two courts, Meghan takes it upon herself to recover the missing scepter before the fragile peace collapses entirely, navigating Winter Court politics and the machinations of its inhabitants while keeping her bond with Ash hidden from those who would use it against them both.
