The fae king’s soiree attracts the most unlikely guests: a thief masquerading as a bard, an exiled prince, and the lost heir to an ancient kingdom.

Forced into an unlikely alliance, the bard champions an impossible heist while an army across the world crumbles beneath strange new magic.

Yet both events are connected. When the world forgot its gods, so too did it forget their power. And a centuries old plan has just begun to unfold.

Fionn alone can remember. Watched by the prince’s wary eyes, she must earn his trust lest she face the darkness the way her journey began: desperate, and alone.

For darkness is a tricky thing: An age old lie, a falsehood long made fact, an assassin with no face. And it has moved unseen to all the world.
