Publisher Description

Many can rise, but only the great will rise again.

Klara has destroyed the fae queen's diabolical factory and freed the creatures trapped within, only to end up caged within her own castle by the king of Hell. Enemies lurk around every corner, and with King Lucifer behaving strangely, Klara suspects Queen Aemella's influence over him is growing - but how and why, she can't figure out. Though determined to free herself and call upon her allies, she struggles to trust her judgement, abandoned and heartbroken. The fae queen is mounting an invasion on Malum, and the dark fae living within Klara's own forest are posing an increasing threat. When she learns that Lottie has escaped the claws of the false alpha, Matthias, it's just one more thread to untangle. With the realms hovering on the brink of war, Queen Aemella offers her daughter a new road to peace... but only if she binds herself to High Fae Jasper.

Will the young queen sacrifice herself to stop Aemella and her hidden source of power, or will Klara take them all down with her?

A ROYAL WEDDING.

A STOLEN HEART.

A LOSS THAT WILL CHANGE THE REALMS FOREVER.

Two Lands. Two Queens. But Only One Can Triumph.

“I have been anxiously awaiting the conclusion to Klara’s story for.... ok I haven’t been waiting that long but I have been anxious to know how this amazing trilogy was going to end! This review will prob be the hardest one I have written this year as I don’t want to give anything away, but I also want to scream about it at the top of my lungs. It is so hard to find a series that genuinely gets better and better as the books continue. Kate has done just that, every time I turn around the stakes are higher, the betrayal is more ruthless, and the compete transformation of the characters Is phenomenal. Klara is immaculate in her role for this third and final installment. Throughout this series she has had one of the best character growth and development I have seen in a MC in a very very long time. Her personality is snark and dark humor in a way that connects with my soul. She also has this morally grey area that I love about her, one that I think a lot of people can identify with. Her innate nature for blood and ruin slowly gravitates to a more compassionate and loving side, which is great as long as her enemies remember her bite is much much worse than her bark. I feel like there is so much more that I could say..... I could tell you how fun the world building has been, how vibrant and crazy the realms that have been created are. I could go into detail that the supporting cast is given just as much love and attention to bring them into the story full circle instead of being forgettable background noise….. Honestly tho what I am going to tell you is to go pick up this trio and find out for yourself.”

“Wow, just wow! This book was perfect! Each book within the series just gets better and better. Kate did not disappoint. This book is filled with loyalty, betrayal, love, courage and forgiveness. I was genuinely hooked from the very first page and I hated putting it down! Klara has grown considerably throughout this series, in this book, she has grown even more. Even though this book is dark and filled with action, Kate has an amazing way of bring humour into the story through the characters and I loved that! Overall I highly recommend this book. Thank you to the author for a copy of this e-arc in exchange for an honest review.”

“A perfect conclusion to an amazing trilogy -Big thanks to the author for the eARC- SPOILERS FOR THE PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH Klara has freed the creatures trapped in the fae queen's factory, but she's now locked in her castle by her father. Many enemies remain, and Klara fears the King is being influenced by the Queen still. To face the threats, she must break free and gather her allies, but she's too heartbroken by Frendall's betrayal. An invasion is coming, and she needs to free Lottie from the wolves. At the brink of war, Klara has no choice but to bind herself to a man she despises... I didn't think it was possible to top the last one, but this book was even better! I adored every second of it. It was full of action and danger, and the plot thickened enthrallingly. I loved how Klara dealt with all the threats looming over her, and how her allies reacted to her plan, a plan that blew my mind because of how clever and detailed it was. I'm still in awe of Klara's resourcefulness and admire her even more now that I've read her whole story. I'll admit that I'm a bit sad that it's over now. The writing was exquisite, beautiful and addictive, making the story increase in pace and intensity. I had no idea what the next chapter would bring and the author entertained me with plot twists that surprised me. I loved how detailed the world was, with all the creatures and the complex politics. I usually don't like when there's a lot of political intrigue, but it didn't bother me one bit in this one because of how enthralling and breathtaking it was. I absolutely love this trilogy and really look forward to reading Kate's next books because I know for certain that she will continue to blow my mind with amazing plots, fascinating worlds and amazing characters. I highly recommend this trilogy to YA fantasy readers! "Some of us don't deserve to be happy. Some of us have to pay for whatever we've done."”
