Publisher's Summary

After two days in isolation, Ayleth still doesn't know why Fendrel placed her under house arrest. Powerful drugs suppress Laranta deep inside her, leaving her alone with too many unanswered questions. What has become of kidnapped Lady Cerine? Why has Prince Gerard not stepped in to help? What is Fendrel's ultimate agenda?

And, most urgently, where is Terryn? Has Fendrel arrested him as well for the curse he carries? The curse that nearly made him kill Gerard....

When a Phasmatrix arrives at the castle with a host of shade hunters, Ayleth fears they have come to test Terryn and, if he cannot be cured, to execute him. But the Phasmatrix has a different objective in view, and Terryn's life might not be the one most imperiled.

Betrayal surrounds Ayleth on all sides, and fiery doom awaits her at dawn. Will she find an unexpected ally amid the coming storm? Or will she face the truth of her past - and its future consequences - alone?

Action Packed

Actual rating 4.5! The series is finally moving ahead with an exciting plot, plenty of twists, action, and a shocking ending. I was glad to see some of the characters finally progress, and while I wasn't really certain how to feel about some characters with their POVs, it did add another layer of complexity and understanding of the plot.

Ayleth and Terryn both finally grow as characters as everything they know crumbles around them. It still took a little longer than I hoped, but that is also the consequence of having so much indoctrination in their lives. I really, truly liked the twists and reveal of the villains and what was done to keep them in isolation. The action is solid, especially at the end, though I wish the plot moved a little faster as well.

All this said, I am still invested and wanting to know what happens next in the series. It is getting down to the wire after that shocking finale, and hopefully, the speed can be ramped up in the next two books!
