Anslee may have survived uncovering her magic and learning she’s the true heir to the Dracorian throne, but after killing the fae queen during her failed coronation coup, she must flee Yonderton to save her life. Accompanied by her childhood best friend and the fae courtier who lied to her, she must learn how to control her power before she can return home.

But the fae town of Zylthiarat is not the haven that it seems. A young fae warrior insists that smoke demons are ravaging the town, and the fae Queen’s enduring hold on her kingdom makes this a dangerous place to seek refuge.

When Anslee’s uncontrolled power causes chaos in the fae lands, she must decide her own fate. The frivolous, timid maid is gone. But the magic-wielding queen feels out of reach.

Anslee must decide who to trust as she battles her unwieldy magic—or else give up hope of reclaiming her throne.
