Yeeran and Lettle’s world has been shaken by a revelation from the Fates that changes everything: The obeah are not what they seem. Return to the intoxicating realm of the fae one last time in the final installment of the #1 Sunday Times bestselling Faebound trilogy

Broken by love.
Trapped by war.
Bound by magic.

Lettle is on a quest to uncover the truth. Along with the human Alder, the last of his kind, she sets off on an arduous journey of discovery. But after a painful separation from King Rayan, she is struggling to find her way.

Alder is determined to learn more about his origins. With no memories of his childhood, he retraces his steps to the cave where it all began. But what he finds there may shake him to the core.
Back in the fae court, Yeeran has other priorities. The warrior-turned-ambassador must negotiate a peace treaty with the elven army. But it’s hard to bargain with a duplicitous enemy. And it’s even harder to negotiate with a broken heart.

Secrets ripple like an earthquake across the land and love and power are at the core of them all. . . .
