The fourth book in the Five Crowns of Okrith series follows Neelo Emberspear, a bookish, neurodivergent, non-binary heir who would rather remain in the library than take the throne. As their mother, the ailing queen, grows more unstable, Neelo must step up to protect her and the kingdom. Facing an arranged marriage to fae warrior Talhan Catullus, Neelo unexpectedly finds a connection with him through a shared love of books, even as witch uprisings threaten the continent.
