Sparknotes: Violet and Jordan, in attempts to rescue Rafe, end up being captured and tortured by the society for a month and it’s revealed the Violets old sensei, Uriel, is the big bad scary man behind it all.

He lets her know that her entire upbringing has been constructed by the society to shape her into being their new leader. Her tragic upbringing allowing the masses to relate to her and root for her as an underdog.

After a month, the group are able to escape and make their way back to the Swiss nation where they recover before heading back to Arbon Academy.

Both guys are being fucking weird towards Violet though and she begins to question how they feel, if her baggage is too much for them and if they blame her for what they have just gone through etc etc

Eventually though they all come to their senses and confess that they are in love.

Good society comes to the forefront and a plan is made to arrange a peoples council giving the general population more power and limiting some of the monarchy’s power. It’s a big global vote which is passed.

Before this vote, Violet fights uriel and kills him though in order to deliver the killing blow she has to get stabbed. When she wakes up in hospital the doctor tells her she won’t be able to have kids

Cut to the epilogue - the princes stayed in school w Violet for another two years before life got in the way and Jordan had to step up as a leader in new America and Rafe got busy doing prince shit also lol idk. But Violet now works with Mattie as a global liaison for the peoples courts and is based between new America and the Swiss regions, though she only sees her princes at limited times.

They end up surprising her and flying out for her birthday and let the world know about their unusual relationship before jetting off to an island that Rafe states he purchased for them to have privacy and see each other whenever they want.

Previously stated that the trio are all fine w the relationship but the guys aren’t keen on doubling up in the bedroom so if something starts in bed with one of them, the other will leave which seems wild but okay. Anyways that’s about it, deffs not my pick of the bunch but a fine wrap up <\spoiler>
