Life is good for Aydan Torvald. She's healed from her injuries. Rein is still head-over-heels for her, and she for him. Her parents live nearby and the threat from Dominic Bertram ended the moment Brig Cooper separated his head from his body. Even so, a shadow looms over her life. Brig hasn't spoken a word to her in months. Crowne Bertram, Dominic's son, has a dangerous hunger for his father's throne. And a sinister dream plagues her sleep-a dream of Rein's mother Grace, and of his death. When an unexpected family reunion knocks Aydan's world off its axis, it's the final blow to her fairy-tale ending. Forced to come to terms with who-and what-she is, Aydan must finally find a way to save herself for the sake of those she loves.
