Bryce Quinlan never imagined she'd leave Midgard, but now stranded in an unfamiliar world, her only desire is to return home. Everything she cherishes—her family, her friends, her mate—awaits her there. But finding her way back will demand every ounce of her cunning, especially when trust is a luxury she can no longer afford.

Meanwhile, Hunt Athalar finds himself back in the Asteri's dungeons, his freedom stolen once more, and Bryce's fate a chilling unknown. Desperate to find her, he's bound by the Asteri's leash, his hands literally tied.

As their world teeters on the brink of collapse, the fate of Midgard rests on Bryce and Hunt’s shoulders. In this electrifying installment of the Crescent City series, Sarah J. Maas plunges readers into a breathtaking sequel where the fight for survival, freedom, and love will push them to their absolute limits.

Hunter, a soldier-turned-monk, has sworn to dismantle the tyrannical Kistrill Empire. His weapon? Kingmaker, the royal family's enchanted sword and most potent symbol of power, stolen right from under their noses. With his loyal, battle-hardened friend Chekwe at his side, Hunter seeks refuge in the treacherous mountain jungles of Orzan.

But sanctuary is a distant dream. Two determined women are on his trail: Tennea, Hunter's own sister and the Emperor's elite manhunter, is bound by duty to retrieve Kingmaker and bring her brother to justice. Armed with a company of crack cavalry and a trove of enchanted artifacts, she exploits Hunter's deepest vulnerability – his yearning heart. Then there's Dahlia, a fierce widow who will do anything to protect her son and salvage her ranch from relentless goblin raids. She needs Hunter's help, whether he's willing to give it or not.

As rum-fueled goblin skirmishes escalate into a full-blown war, and Orzan's petty warlords scramble for control of Kingmaker's power, Hunter faces impossible odds. Can he uphold his oath and safeguard the enchanted blade? Or will Chekwe's uncontrollable desire to wield Kingmaker's mysterious power doom them all?

Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar have made a pact: a platonic relationship until the Winter Solstice. But with a bond forged in blood and fire, the simmering tension between them threatens to ignite all of Crescent City.

They saved the city, but now, with the Asteri's iron grip loosening, a new rebellion rises. Bryce and Hunt, dragged into the heart of it, face a terrifying choice: stand silent while others are crushed, or fight for a world where everyone is free. They've never been good at staying silent.

In this exhilarating and sexy sequel to House of Earth and Blood, Sarah J. Maas plunges you back into a world on the brink of war, where passion can be the deadliest weapon, and the cruelest fate might be the only way to save them all.
