“Someone heal her!” I screamed as I placed two hands over her bleeding abdomen. A snap of energy signaled that the portal was gone.
The fae’s lips were worryingly pale as she tilted her head back to see the crown atop my head. A weak smile lit up her face, before a frown slowly replaced it. She leaned up a little, and whispered in my ear. “Darkness… and the Winter Court… coming for you.”
I gave a sharp inhale of breath. Violet was there then, her healing energy flooding into the fae, but it was too late. Dalia gave one last shuddering breath, then her vibrant eyes turned dull and glassy.
Sorrow bloomed in my chest as I met my best friend’s gaze. She looked both stunned and horrified as she tore her eyes from mine to glance back at Dalia. As I got to my feet, Kade’s hand at my back, I realized the crowd was very noisy again.
Someone shouted out, “What did she say, Your Majesty? What happened?”
I moved to the edge of the stage, hands bloody, heartbroken. I had promised not to lie to my people anymore. “The Winter Court is coming. They have attacked our allies, but we will be ready for them. We will take them down and they will regret ever stepping foot in our boroughs!”
The swarm of shouts and screams filled the hill, echoing out into the ocean. In that moment, with Kade at my side, and my people out there before me, I almost believed we stood a chance.

Queen Mecca,

Thank you to Leia Stone, you’re the best friend a girl could ask for. Thanks for making our “job” so much fun. To Heather, my PA, thank you for being amazing. Honestly, you go above and beyond for me, and I couldn’t ask for a better friend. Don’t ever leave me, because I’ll find you. Sorry, that was a little creepy. But seriously, I will find you.
Thank you to Lee, our editor, and to Tamara, our amazing cover designer. Both of you are so important in bringing our creations to life and we are so grateful to you.
To my release team (and Nerd Herd) … you are seriously some of my favourite people ever. Your encouragements, enthusiasm for the written word, not to mention help with edits and sharing on release day, means so much to me. I really lucked out with every single one of you. FYI - You also can’t leave. It’s written in an acknowledgements now, which means you are obligated to stay. Forever.
Lastly to my family. You are my everything. Therefore, I am nothing without you. Love you more than all the words in all the books.
