Everything you need to know first. Then fall in.

One trope. Spice, tropes and warnings show how sure we are.

In this second volume of the Dark Artifices trilogy, set within the wider Shadowhunter Chronicles, warrior partners Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn grapple with a bond that forbids them from falling in love even as enemies close in on the Blackthorn family. To protect those they love, Emma, Julian, and their companions pursue a dangerous spell book, journeying into the treacherous Courts of Faerie under a bargain with the Seelie Queen. Meanwhile, an extremist faction among the Shadowhunters and a new threat from the Unseelie King raise the stakes for everyone involved.
