Synopsis

SALVAGE A ROTTING COURT. SAVE THE RAVAGED LANDS. STOP THE VILE WITCH. In the wake of a brutal attack from the Vile witch, Atarah Nefarin and her friends travel to where the rot originates in the last wild lands of Silver Moon-the Packlands. Surviving the phases of transference, Atarah is now a fullborn fae with magic akin to the dark god. To salvage a rotting court, she absorbs the corrupted dark magic and burns the bodies it leaves behind. Feeding the starving land returns vitality to a crumbling court, and as a result, the Bloom nears. Yet a Vile witch undermines her and her friends efforts by unearthing an ancient loophole to tear open the Rift. Atarah and her friends race not only to heal a broken land, but also stop a deranged witch from unleashing vengeful gods who've been locked away since the mark of time. Rayth Lucin no longer hides behind a mask of deceit after Atarah uncovers his truth. Grappling with his newfound freedom, Rayth follows Atarah and her friends into the Packlands. The odds are stacked against them while a vicious storm battles overhead. Atarah and Rayth must slowly discover what the future holds for them in a court on the brink of civil war, and where the Vile witch stalks them at every possible turn. While the courts around them watch, Atarah and her friends are determined to fight against the odds and prevail above all.
