Shadow magic, realm-shattering high stakes, and sizzling spice combine in this highly anticipated conclusion to the Best of #BookTok Shattered Crown trilogy, an epic romantasy series perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and The Serpent & the Wings of Night.
The fragile peace forged in the wake of the Arcane Crucible is unraveling. With the rise of an ancient evil, the scars dividing Arcanis have begun to bleed anew, and the future of the realm hangs by a thread.
Elyria Lightbreaker has paid a devastating price to save her loved ones. Now, she faces a whole new darkness-and must decide how much more of herself she's willing to give to save a world that's already taken so much from her.
Rocked by the secrets of his past and the truth of his power, Cedric Thorne scours the continent for the woman he loves. But as Elyria is pulled ever further from reach, saving her could mean becoming something unforgivable...and once Cedric's fire is unleashed, there may be no putting it out.
A queen of shadow. A king of flame. A love bound and burdened by prophecy. When some wounds run too deep to be healed, peace might not be worth the cost.

Worse, the man immune to her kiss is her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood, and now he knows about her double life. The only way to protect her secret and her city is get close enough to Henry to figure out why the Havenwoods have reappeared after years of silence and what they have planned.
Cursed with a husband she can't K*ll and trapped in a fortress surrounded by vampire-infested woods, Harlow's survival requires her to do the impossible: Make the man who knows she's a killer fall in love with her anyway.

She lives outside Philadelphia with a small army of underwatered houseplants that survive out of spite.
