With the days counting down to Corbet and Ruari’s impending wedding, the stress of planning for the future has Corbet spiraling. His life has been a maelstrom of change since he found himself in the world of the fae, and though he knows he’s happy, it’s still a lot to take in. He slips away to find some solace but instead finds something far more eye-opening— the diary of the late Seelie Queen Aisling nestled in a room hidden by the Court itself.
Within the pages resides the history of the Court as seen through the eyes of the one who lost it all. The war with the Milesians is in full force, incited by a mysterious beast that drew first blood the moment the mortals stepped foot in fae territory. Aisling desires peace, but when worse comes to worst and the tides of battle begin to change, she has only one person to turn to— Avenir, Monarch of the Unseelie.
Every decision has a consequence. Every good intention has a price that must be paid, be it in blood or lives or innocence lost.
Aisling and Avenir may be gone, but the choices they made live on regardless.
I simply adore this series. This book gave more insight into Aisling's life and the struggles she faces. I think my favourite relationship besides the obvious Corbet and Ruari is Aisling and Eolande.
I can't wait for the last book, though I'm sad that it's coming to an end so soon.
Since Aisling's story was already told through the last 3 books, I don't think this added much. If the blurb hadn't had said anything about Corbet and Ruari, I wouldn't have picked this up.
They're only in the first and last chapter and their story does not move forward.
