The unthinkable has occurred. Spellwood has fallen. Queen Druisi, ruler of the Summer Court, has taken the school by force and imprisoned the half-fae students inside. Her soldiers patrol the grounds. Every student is tagged and accounted for, except Kyra and a few others. Kyra hides in the forgotten tunnels of the school, where haunted things wander and old curses threaten to silence her forever, kept company only by Tryst. Now, Druisi's minions are searching for her, and they have cruel and insidious methods of finding what they seek. Amid the turmoil, Lucien has returned, and Kyra's feelings and loyalties are put to the ultimate test. Can Kyra survive? Can she find a way to free Spellwood--and her friends?
