When the bestselling WICKED LOVELY series ended, the Faery Courts were in order. In the years following, peace was still tenuous, but every court seemed devoted to balance.
But now, Urian—son of the former Dark King and the fated Summer Queen, Thelma Foy—has decided to claim his destiny.
Urian knew the secrets that protected his relatives--both the mortal and the faery ones--since childhood. After the Summer Queen claimed the throne that should have been his mother's and a lowly advisor claimed the throne that was his father's, Uri is done hiding. The Dark Summer Prince is ready to claim one—or both—of the thrones that should rightfully be his.
When Urian discovers Kyla, unaware of her ancestry, he finally has the ally—or general—he's needed. . . whether or not she agrees.
Far from the world of the fey, Kyla has spent her life aware that her bloodlines aren't as mortal as those around her. When one of the creatures she's been told to hide from discovers her in the desert, she decides to protect her human family by finding her place in the world of the faeries. She can't trust Uri, but she feels drawn to him in a way she never imagined.
Secrets are revealed. Peace is threatened. And neither family ties nor accidental love can keep the balance between the courts now.
My Review:
I was so excited to read this book! I had to reread the previous books before I got into it because it'd been so long, and I'm glad I did, because this world is just so great, and I had such a great time being back in this world!
Honestly, I was a little annoyed at Urian, at his entitlement to the two thrones. One, the spring court was through the women in the family who had the sight-that is not Urian. Two, the dark court's current king was appointed by the last, also known as your absent, unknowing dad. Technically he has a right, but its flimsy at best. But seeing him with Katherine (or is it Kyla? My ARC copy had Katherine, but the Goodreads synopsis says Kyla), watching their relationship grow, that was really great!
The fact that we got other perspectives in this book besides Urian and Kyla, of Aislinn as she's dealing with this threat to her court, as well as her relationship with Seth, and other political goings on. I'm a little apprehensive, because on one hand, tradition can be really bad, but on the other, I like Aislinn and Seth together as they are. Bah!
Oh, but that ending? Yeah, I'm pretty desperate for another book! I need to know what's going to happen next! And maybe a bit more with Urian and Katherine, because things were building in that direction, but then everything went down, and I want more!
This was a fantastic read and the wait for the next book is going to be awful!
