   Summary

   Everyone always said the Cauldron loved Elain. As it turns out, it loved her so much it stole her heart.

   And now it is up to her – and Lucien, the mate she never asked for – to get it back.

   Set in late summer after the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Elain and Lucien travel together across Prythian to the Mortal Realm, through Spring Court and finally to Day. But when getting a heart back entails so many risks, is it even really what Elain wants?

   This is a story of healing and redemption, the importance of choices, and power beyond magic or brute strength - the kind of power it takes to be joyful and gentle in a cruel world.

   “Yes there is the mating bond, Elain. But… there is also my heart.”
