She saved him once and he betrayed her. Will she risk her heart to do it again? Still reeling from the prince's betrayal, Everleigh sequesters herself in her cabin, refusing all contact with him. Focused on helping her patients, she falls into old habits and resumes looking for her mother. But when soldiers knock on her door with a summons from the king, she'll have to decide whether to put her heart on the line to save the prince one more time. Heartbroken, Prince Silas will do anything to win Everleigh back, including saving a Veil dragon before Drylyn can get his hands on it. When the creature accidentally bites him, sending poison coursing through his veins, Silas falls into a coma. As the venom paralyzes and slowly kills him, the king and queen realize they need Everleigh's help. But she wants nothing to do with their son. Meanwhile, Anastasia's claws sink ever deeper in Drylyn. Rallying his soldiers to her cause beneath the distracted eyes of the king and queen, her actions further endanger both the people and the future of Faymere.
