Summary
Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.
It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.
She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”
Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”
Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”
Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.
_____
Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

Summary
Gwyn and her moody teenage daughter move to Velaris to find someone to teach her how to fly.
Spoiler Alert: Azriel obviously takes the job!
___________________“Are you ready to see your new room?”
Juno answered with a dramatic eye roll and folded her arms in a huff. She turned to walk into their new apartment, nearly hitting Gwyn with her leathery wings as she did.
Why hadn’t anyone told Gwyn how awful she’d feel as a mother when her daughter became a teenager? Everything she did was wrong, uncool, or embarrassing. Although maybe Juno had the right to be upset with her this time.

Summary
Nesta Archeron has run out patience. Fed up of having the same fights and never seeming to win, she accepts a job offer from none other than her former betrothed. The chance to get away puts her at odds with her mate, but she can't resist the opportunity—for herself and her Valkyries.
Eris Vanserra has run out of time. After centuries of dodging betrothals, and finally moving past the one that got away, Eris is forced to travel to Bharat to secure another—this time to the youngest daughter of their warrior-Empress. To do so, he hires Nesta Archeron and her Valkyries to be his personal bodyguards.
Over the course of their month-long trip away to the desert-nation, Nesta and Eris' uneasy alliance develops into genuine friendship, and they realise they have far more in common than initially thought.

Summary
Azriel has gone rogue. After a woman from another world lands at his feet, his entire universe is turned inside out. At war with himself internally, fighting for shreds of sanity, Azriel is pivoted against his friends and family–the Inner Circle.
His grip on control fades as he feels an internal thread disintegrating; he realizes he has felt the woman die. Azriel is faced with an abrupt ultimatum; to either go on living without her, without hope, or try to save her life, whatever the cost.
Betraying everyone he loves in exchange for saving the unknown half of his soul–it isn’t an impossible choice. It isn’t a choice at all. He will travel across worlds. He will wield the Harp. He will go back in time. He will do this terrible thing, turning everyone against him. He will save her life. And she will save him.
He's been there the whole time.

Summary
Masks had always been familiar to Nesta Archeron.
Less shiny, less deadly than the one that occasionally framed her face, these were smaller, meant for everyday wear that hid her identity in different, more vital ways.
‘Stop bouncing on your toes, Nesta. Stay still.’
The earliest effort – to stop her body from constantly moving. Constantly needing to sway or rock up and down, be it at tea, or on the promenade.
‘Sound sweet when you talk. Simpering. No one likes a monotone. And for my sake, smile.’
The bane of her mother’s existence – that her voice was not light and melodic, like Feyre’s, but rather deep-toned and inherently cold. How her face rested in a perpetual scowl regardless of her mood.
‘Watch me, copy me. That’s right.’

Summary
Nesta Archeron has done something willful—again. And this time, it might just break the world.
Elain Archeron is left to clean up the mess, trapped in the aftermath of her sister handing over a weapon of unfathomable power to a complete stranger—a girl who appeared out of nowhere and vanished just as quickly, leaving only questions behind. Questions with answers that cut like a knife in the dark.
But Elain has bigger problems. Her nightmares are getting worse, unraveling the too-thin thread between dreams and reality. The visions creep into her waking hours like ivy strangling stone, and if she doesn’t master her power soon, it won’t just consume her—it may devour her entirely.
The only thing keeping her tethered to reality? A delicate gold chain, a stained glass rose pendant pressed against her skin… and the memory of who gave it to her.
She’s worn it for seven months. And she’s starting to think she was never meant to take it off.

Summary
It’s been 15 years of steady waters for Prythian and those who reside there.
For the Fae around her, this time could have passed during the space between one breath and another. But Nesta Archeron’s still human heart has felt each beating second, minute, hour. She has felt it all, each moment stretching out before her.
While trying her best to navigate her way through this immortal life of hers, Nesta is constantly looking outside of herself to find her way and keep those around her off of her back.
What happens when she is forced to look inside herself and push back in ways she never thought she could? At least, not ever again. Will she succeed in trying to save a life outside of her own? And what lies in the balance when she begins to push against a world that punishes those who step out of line?
The now lone rock at which the surf crashes has not broken. But she has been eroded, changed.
Nesta Archeron has never been known to be down for too long. Not when injustice is so brazenly displayed to her. Not when someone she cares for is at its centre.
Long Live the Queen. And Cauldron help those who do not have the sense to bow.
