Quinn is back at sea—but this time, it’s dripping with secrets. After barely surviving the first trial in the Ethodine, Quinn wrestles with new mysteries as she enters the underwater world of the Nymphs--Aeron’s domain. As she prepares for the next perilous trial, Quinn struggles to keep her distance from Aeron and his gorgeous bride-to-be while also being desperate to solve countless questions: how is the ancient tome Hickory stole connected with her nightmares? Did Vale really have a romantic past with Aeron? And what is hiding behind Alys’ cold demeanor?

The tunnels are not the only terror Quinn will face next. The heirs have agreed to find Quinn’s attacker and decode the tome’s ominous prophecy together, but their new alliance is tested at every corner as they enter the underground tunnels. Hickory’s home in the Kobold city is an overwhelming maze of mystery, pixie dust machinery, and mayhem—and nothing compares with the challenge that awaits them in the next death-defying trial.
