    Summary

    “Mother, are you using me to make the shadowsinger jealous?” Lucien asked, trying not to snicker.
    When he looked back down at Elain he found her face had paled — her lips were pressed in a flat line. The expression of someone who knew they’d slipped up.
    Lucien rolled his eyes. “Did you believe I was laboring under the illusion you were not pursuing his affections, lady?”
    Elain’s mouth opened and closed and she fumbled their steps briefly before Lucien steered them back on track. “It— How long have you known?”
    He snorted. “Both of my eyes see just fine.”
    Elain’s troubled expression softened into puzzlement. “But you never…”
    He arched a single brow. “I’ve never caused a scene? I’ve never objected to another male pursuing my mate? I’ve never gone on a bloody rampage snarling about how our lives are woven together by fate itself and as a result I’m entitled to your heart over a brooding, emotionally unstable spymaster? Hm?”
    Elain bit her lower lip and Lucien was surprised and pleased to realize she was holding back a grin. “Something like that.”

    Summary

    Lucien wants Elain, but she'd rather be with Azriel than anywhere near her mate.

    Gwyn wants Azriel, but he'd rather fall in love with someone else's mate than with her.

    Together, Lucien and Gwyn (with the help of a meddling High Lord and Lady) concoct a scheme to make Elain and Azriel want them back. There's only one problem: they have just two weeks to get their loves to love them back, or the game is over. For good.

    Summary

    “I know you’d rather not get help from me. I know you’ve rejected our mating bond and I’ve accepted that. But I still want to make sure you’re safe.”

    Her heart twisted in its cage, filling her whole body with icy tears that would not spill.

    Tell him. He deserves to know the truth. Tell him.

    And because this time the voice inside was hers, because it was strong and clear and right, she did.

    “I haven’t rejected the mating bond with you, Lucien,” she said quietly, her chest pounding so loud she could hardly hear the words. “But I think I damaged it, because—because I’ve never felt it.”

    Summary

    Months after Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony, Gwyn and Azriel struggle with feeling out of place as their friends start their new lives. As the threat of Koschei finds its way to Prythian’s shores, Azriel trains the priestess in spycraft to infiltrate the lake. Their past traumas and desires for freedom draw them closer to one another, but an unseen enemy and a male from Gwyn’s past threaten to take the quiet happiness they hope for.

    Meanwhile, Elain grapples with her developing powers and the growing bond in her heart. Lucien is torn between his struggling mate and his failed loyalties as she begins to reach for him. When a dark family secret pushes Elain to the brink, she and Lucien find themselves in a new Court—with a new High Lord eager to use their gifts for his own ends.

    As the couples fall and fight for one another, uncertainty for their futures only grows. Will their courtships be able to survive the foes that surround them? Or will they break apart as they discover the binds that connect them in ways unimagined?

But what happens when the High Lord of Spring mistakenly takes the wrong human back to his manor? And what of the fate of Prythian when she begins to fall for the wrong faerie?
