The fourth book in this series. Auren is recovering from her battle. They are recuperating before they can go back to the 4th kingdom. But Auren needs to overcome some internal wounds as well. When they get to 4th kingdom, Manu is trying to get them to agree to release Auren to the trail for Midas’s death.

Slade does let Auren go. Manu kidnaps Auren and almost kills her. Slade. Just barely saves Auren, but does so by sending her back to the fae world. He can not get in from the new rip in thebworld he made. And when he returns to his original rip it is no longer there.

my only complaint is the slow middle; i love the background we got on slade and the healing auren went through, but it's not real conducive to plot/story-telling.

also, osrik and rissa came out of left field and i am LOVING them. there was so much good in this book, but i won't lie—osrik and rissa were my fav parts.

The beginning half really is pretty slow, necessarily, but the end is an emotional rollercoaster.
