The furious finale of the successful fantasy saga Aelin aka Celaena is held captive by the Dark Queen. Locked in a cage in a secret place, escape seems impossible. While Prince Rowan searches half the world for his lost love, Aedion and shapeshifter Lysandra try to defend their home - now without the power and protection of their queen - by all means. Old alliances are broken, new ones forged and strengthened. Everything boils down to the last great battle, which Aelin Fireheart and her companions must decide for themselves in order to save Erilea from the rule of the demons.
