BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE RIVETING THIRD INSTALLMENT IN THE INTERNATIONAL AMAZON BESTSELLING SHADOW CROWN SERIES BY KRISTEN MARTIN

With an early spring should come life. Not death.

As Cruex-turned-Caldari Arden Eliri approaches her eighteenth birthday, adjusting to life as illusié has proven to be anything but easy. An untimely death - one that should have made waves throughout the Lands of Aeridon - caused merely a ripple.

That same death appears to have been at the hands of Arden herself.

As Aeridon's most desirable renegade, she sees no other choice than to forego the safety and comfort of the Queendom of Sardoria - and with it, her fellow Caldari. Even so, that doesn't stop her ex-partner-and-confidante, Rydan Helstrom, from attempting to reach her with news that could shatter her very reality . . . and everything she thought she knew about her family - or lack thereof.

With more at stake than ever before, Arden must come to terms with the risks she's destined to take and the darkness she'll undoubtedly face. Risks that will leave her forever changed. Darkness that may render her unrecognizable. Forced to face an entangled past once again, Arden is overtly aware that her future - and the future of those she loves - rests entirely in her hands.
