Trials of Saints and Glory

Book four takes the Fae of Rewyth series into trial-by-fire territory, literally. Jade's powers start to crack open here, and watching Malachi be forced to the sidelines while she fights for her life is the kind of helpless-protector angst that hits different. Readers who've stuck with the slow burn will feel it paying off, even if the ending leaves you scrambling for book five.
