Summary
Nesta Archeron desperately needs her happily ever after. She’s overcome her trauma, atoned for her missteps, and worked hard to temper her sharp edges so she could be the mate Cassian deserves, and the sister Feyre and Elain need. All that remains now is her mating ceremony, and then she can take her place among the Night Court's Inner Circle.
Across Prythian, Eris Vanserra has spent centuries doing the exact opposite: sharp edges are what's kept him alive in the Autumn Court. He's fought tooth and nail to stay on top and two steps ahead of the game, and worn the ugly mask of politics for so long he no longer remembers where Eris the Heir ends, and Eris the Person begins.
But on the day of Nesta's mating ceremony-a day that should mark a new beginning for her and an end for him-both realize that old wounds don't always heal quickly, and that even the best, most careful planners can still get taken by surprise.
