Nightbane: Book Three of the Broken Kingdoms (The Broken Kingdoms Books)

“You willingly entered this gilded prison once more, Vrea Greenvass. Under the guise of marriage, of alliance, call it what you will. Don’t expect to be leaving any time soon.” As the truth about Castil’s heritage slips out and her mother offers her an impossible choice, Vrea knows that she would do anything to protect him, as he would for her. Which means being forced to flee from those she once sided with in exchange for the one she now cares for, far more than anyone else. Risking the arduous journey across Niroula is one thing. But now as they enter the clutches of the King of Carylim, into Hawksmoor once again, their survival is solely dependent on how well they can play the game of war. A strategic contest of wits that has deadly consequences if they make the wrong move, including a plan cleverly devised by her brother, Teminos, to draw the true villain out. As their true feelings for each other float to the surface, new allies come to fruition and old enemies meet fates that belonged to them from the beginning.
