Yet, faced with the city's demonic chaos, he is given an alluring proposition: aid Bryce in her quest for the killer, and earn his long-sought freedom. As they delve into the city's dark underbelly, Bryce and Hunt uncover a menacing power that endangers all they cherish, discovering an intense passion between them that could liberate them both—if they allow it.

With memorable characters, fiery romance, and thrilling suspense, Sarah J. Maas's new fantasy series explores the depths of loss, the cost of liberty, and the strength of love.
