Yrene was held at knife point. Celaena wanted her to use the skills she’d just learned to take him down. She did. Celaena left a lot of money on Yrene’s bed as a parting gift and a gift for her to part from Innish. Yrene took it and left for Antica.

Celaena boarded the ship to the desert and hoped Yrene would become a great healer and heal the world after the destruction from Adarlan.

Celaena told Yrene to go to Antica, where the healing school is. She wanted to teach her some self-defense moves before she left for the boat to Yurpa. In the alley, they trained. Then the alley was surrounded, by men looking for revenge. Celaena told Yrene to go inside.

Yrene dreamed of being a healer herself, but her powers had vanished like the rest of the magic. Yrene cleaned the taproom after last call and in the alley four men ambushed her. Celaena saved her, but got a cut on her arm. Yrene offered to clean it. Celaena accepted.

Yrene is the barmaid at the inn. Her mother was a healer with magic. She was murdered by soldiers who had come to kill them, but Yrene escaped.

Celaena is in Innish traveling to the Red Desert to work with an assassin as her punishment for breaking the trade between Aro and the Pirate Lord. She doesn’t know where Sam is. She has been brawling with everyone, Aro and random bar patrons. She is looking for trouble in a crappy inn.

They freed the slaves by creating a great brawl in the bay and disabling pirates’ ships. Sam destroyed Ship-Breaker, the chain attached to the watch tower, by destroying the entire tower. Celaena made Rolfe sign papers ending the slave trading at Skull’s Bay and with Aro.

Sam and Celaena went to the two ships that held the slaves. She tied up the guards and captain, and went to the slaves. She told them to sail at dawn and not to stop while Sam and her made a distraction on land and slowed down the pirates from catching them.

Celaena and Sam went to see the slaves Rolfe is selling Aro. They fight on the beach about ruining the business deal and Sam agrees.

Celaena is trying to ruin Arobynn’s investment. She must hide her identity because she’s the world’s best assassin. Sam is jealous of her position in the Assassin’s Guild and is tired of her ordering him around. Celaena is arrogant and overly confident.

Celaena is an assassin part of the Assassin’s Guild. Sam is a year older than her, a fellow assassin she butts heads with. Arobynn is her master. Her friend Ben was killed and she retrieved his body.

Celaena and Sam traveled to Skull’s Bay to talk to the Pirate Lord, Rolfe, to send a message from Arobynn. She thought it was retribution for dead assassins, but it was a business proposition in the slave trade.

They talk a lot and he definitely fell first. At the coffee shop, Millie sees her ex and she pulls Finn close. Something has changed between them.

Millie gets along well with Finn’s nieces. They bump into each other at the bakery and at camp, where Lena sets up Millie to go to Finn’s house to make pizza with the girls.

Millie got a trial period for the new job she wants starting in 4 weeks.

* This book makes me realize that I hate when the main character has a friend that sets up the plot by tricking them.

Millie’s interview went well and Finn starts being oddly nice to her. The kids come for camp and Finn brings Avery and Eloise, his sister’s daughters that he is the sole caretaker of. Clara, his sister, died from cancer. Finn is lonely and grieving with his nieces.

She crashes into bro and he’s one of the right people interviewing her.

Millie is hoping to become the curator of the entomology department. Finn is the grumpy director of the astronomy department. Every interaction is tense. At a meeting, they discuss how children are coming for a week at the museum and the departments must cater programs for them to follow.

Each chapter is from either character’s POV. Finn’s sister passed away and his mother is manipulative.

Nes lives in the House of Wind, gifted to her by Rhys. Nes and Cass are to have a grand mating ceremony. Feyre, Elain, and Nes visit their father’s grave.

Cass meets Eris to find out how much Beron knows. He finds out that Eris is still their ally. Cass asks him why he left Mor that day when he seems like such a good guy. Eris doesn’t answer him. Cass has everything that he doesn’t and he thinks that Eris wants to be like him, a good guy, but he’s in a crappy situation.

Feyre and Rhys’ son is named Nyx. Nes altered her anatomy to a female Illyrian, like Feyre’s had changed, for when she and Cass want kids. Nes said “I love you” to Cass.

Nes made a bargain with the Cauldron: she gave all she stole from it back in exchange for the lives of Feyre and her baby. Rhys knelt on his two knees and thanked Nes. She hugged him.

Feyre was bleeding out. The baby was stuck in the birth canal. Madja, the healer, did a C-section. Nes close her eyes and the Mask, Harp, and Crown were on her.

Cass didn’t actually stag himself. Mor and Az show up urgently about Feyre.

Briallyn explained how she planned for Bellius to hunt Nes and the females down, rigged the Rite with weapons, and used Eris and Cass to get to Nes. She wanted the rest of the Trove. She used Cass to pin Nes and commanded him to kill. He stabbed himself in the chest. Nes turned Briallyn to ash.

Bellius almost killed Nes, but Cass windowed to her and killed him. Then he hugged Nes and said he’d kill her. It was Briallyn controlling him.

Nes fought Bellius still, but she was taking a beating. He disarmed her and then it was hand-to-hand combat. She called Cassian her mate.

Az escaped with Eris and Cass was stuck under the influence of Briallyn. She said she needed him. Koschei winnowed Bri and Cass somewhere.

Nes killed all the males but Bellius, Emerie’s cousin. Emerie and Gwyn made it to the top and winnowed. Nes fought Bellius.

Nes had off the males at the bottleneck. Ataraxia was what she mães her magic sword. It meant Inner Peace.

Nes, Gwyn, and Emerie had made it to the Pass of Enaulis. Gwyn was injured and carried on Nes until she couldn’t. She told Emerie to put Gwyn on her back and make it up the rest is the peak while Nes stayed there to hold off a group of 6 males coming to them.

Cass and Az saw Eris with Briallyn. Eris threaten Cass, but he was under the influence of Bri. They walked to a lake with him and met Koschei.

Nes, Gwyn, and Emerie slept in trees and hiked toward Ramiel, the highest peak. They fought their way to the base of the peak. They debated on whether to climb it. Gwyn shared her story—her assault and sister’s death. Emerie shared her abused by her father and being compliant in her mother’s death. Nes told her story. They decided to climb to prove to themselves that it can be done.

They found Gwyn after being abducted by Emerie’s cousin and his band. Gwyn attracted a beast to them and Nes, Gwyn, and Emerie escaped.
