About this book
In the wake of the Atonement Trials, Selena finds herself thrust from the sheltered confines of the Seelie Court into a fractured world teetering on the brink of revolt. Committed to the underground resistance, she aims to dismantle the oppressive Iceheart Dynasty, but her mission forces an inevitable confrontation with the formidable Draven Ryat. As mysterious, high-profile murders plague the kingdom, Draven is charged with hunting the culprit, while Selena finds herself caught in the orbit of the killer, working to shield them from his pursuit.
The tension between Selena and Draven is a volatile mix of lingering attraction and lethal duty. Each move they make brings them closer to a devastating collision, as their opposing loyalties threaten to incinerate the fragile connection they once shared. With the dynasty’s grip tightening and a shadow-shrouded conspiracy unraveling, Selena faces an impossible choice: sacrifice the man who haunts her thoughts or abandon the cause that defines her existence.
In a landscape defined by shifting alliances and ancient malice, their tangled hearts may prove to be the most dangerous liability of all, setting the stage for a reckoning where love and survival are mutually exclusive.

abcdiana_reads“..I welcome your hell in here, little rebel.”
"OMFG. This picks up right where book 1 drops us..off that dang cliff and immediately plunges you into schemes, mystery, delicious banter and one heck of a battle that had me fighting for my life. Between the Fae, the humans, the resistance, and freaking dragons, there’s not a single moment to breathe. With tensions sky high, everything feels so fragile..like one wrong move and everything could shatter. The way loyalties are tested and lines are blurred had me stressed in TF out lol. And that ending though…here we go again cus I’m already running to book 3. 4.5⭐️ 🎧 Narrated by Laura Horowitz and dang did she do an amazing job bringing all these characters to life 😍 ["

Bernadette SmithDraven has my Heart!
"Draven is definitely a top five book boyfriend and I’ve read about 500 books in the last couple years so that is quite the statement. Once you’ve read this book you’ll find out why I think that. The character development for both Selena and Draven is absolutely chef’s kiss as they navigate their role in this crazy thing called the Ice Dynasty. There are so many moving parts and little subplots that you’ll be sitting in the edge of your seat the whole time. I was nervous multiple times because I didn’t know what to expect and I was also so hopeful that my hunch was right about other things. What I was right about was so much deeper and complex that I had imagined so I was still super surprised. The tension is excellent- the enemies to lovers is still there- forced proximity, secret identity, banter for DAYS, epic battles, revenge and redemption, betrayals- this book has it all! I loved learning more about the black dragon clan and Alastair and Imrani are still very much participants in this story. The cliffhanger at the end was HUGE so I will be starting book three ASAP! ["

"The second installment raises the stakes in every way. Marion Blackwood expands the world beautifully while intensifying the tension, making this impossible to put down. I read it in one sitting and lost sleep without regret. If you loved book one, this one pulls you even deeper. Five stars—onto the next immediately. ["
