Synopsis
Velody now leads the Creature Court, but the alliance is fracturing as murders and disappearances cast suspicion on one of their own. Ashiol, who has always dismissed Aufleur's festivals as frivolous, learns their true purpose when his cousin the Duchessa cancels the sacred games -- without them, nothing can hold back the sky, and only the ultimate sacrifice of one of the creature kings can save the city from catastrophe.
