In this concluding novel of the duology, written by the author of A Dance of Lies, Vasalie travels to the realm of the dead to restore her beloved prince’s memories and avert a looming war. After she worked as a spy for King Illian and sacrificed herself to end his reign, she returned thanks to a deal between Anton—Illian’s brother—and the goddess of the underworld realm.
The price of this return is his compassion, his memories of her, and everything that happened in the past few weeks. Without this truth, Anton believes his friends have betrayed him and accepts the challenge of ruling the realm of the dead. With his kingdom on the brink of civil war and Vasalie’s father threatening to attack, she realizes that only he and his memories can mend the broken realm.
To save both her world and him, Vasalie ventures into the realm of the dead. The Anton she finds is embittered and lost. Only by bringing back his memories can she win him over again—even if that means losing her own heart.
