Four years ago, I fled from my wedding to four fiancés. These men hate me and magically hunt me through the realm as they rule without me. But after overhearing a plot to destroy my little sister, I have no choice. I have to convince them to trust me. Her life and the life of the kingdom depend on it.

I made a terrible mistake. I gave my heart to my worst enemy in order to survive. Relinquishing my heart allows me access to my pent-up magic. But it has a side effect. Now, as I swim through the sea kingdom, I find myself randomly consumed by dark thoughts. Sometimes when I stare at the men competing in the tournament for my hand, I get a random itch—the urge to reach out and snap their necks. To hear that brittle crack of bone and watch their eyes fade to gray. It doesn't matter how sweet, funny, or handsome they are. The desire to hurt them is nearly overwhelming.

I thought the worst of Manhattan’s hidden world was behind me—until I stumbled on something that was a little too familiar. It carries a signature I recognized from the night my magic first awakened. It’s tearing into Zilra’s defense team, sabotaging trials, and building a case that makes me look like the one committing all these magical crimes. If it succeeds, Tessa—my key witness and the girl I dragged out of hell—gets buried right alongside the truth. Sarah Kim and SENSE want everything handled “by procedure.” But procedure isn’t something my enemies care about.

Curses fly through the air around me, magical barbs set to skewer. As the kingdoms of Kenmare plunge into war, my greatest weapon is cunning. That, and the five knights who've pledged their life and love to me. Together, we raise armies and allies. Until magic sabotages everything we've done. Sabotages us. In this world, magic has a price. But I'm not sure it's one I can afford to pay.

To maintain my place as Queen of Okeanos, I need someone to quite literally take my broken heart into their body. So... I'm hosting a tournament to find a willing puppet—someone who will let me pull their strings. But who should I choose? The sweet, funny courtier? The seductive stranger? The rebel who hates me as much as his next breath? The options weigh me down as all around me, threats emerge. Attacks. Someone doesn't want me to rule the depths. I need to change the tides to keep from being dragged under, but can I survive long enough to choose my own fate?

I've got a missing sister, a rebellion, and enemy nations chomping at my heels. I don't need any other riddles to solve. But I have one: A mysterious visitor who is more than he seems. Luckily, I have my knights at my side. With them, I feel certain I can face anything. Until long-buried secrets surface and everything I ever knew starts to unravel. I reach a tipping point. My nation reaches a tipping point. Will we both plunge into darkness? Not if I can help it.

It has all come down to this. The battle to save Kingsley's pack, and Austin's place of birth, is upon them. They have their team, they have their supplies, and they have a very nerve-wracking secret weapon that Edgar devised. They aren't even close to ready. If they lose this battle, every...
