BOOKTOK AND SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING ROMANTASY PHENOMENON HAZEL McBRIDE IS BACK

WILL YOU FLY OR WILL YOU FALL. . . IN LOVE OR INTO WAR?

Fragile peace hangs in the balance during a dangerous clan Gathering where griffins soar, manipulation whispers through the court and desire stirs on dread winds in a thrilling new romantic fantasy set in Hazel McBride's Celtic-inspired world of Erisocia.

Ten years ago, in the heart of a deadly storm, Lucille Machair committed the unthinkable: she lost control of her Goddess-gifted magic and killed her best friend's Bonded griffin. Her actions roused the fury of the clans and plunged Tìr Adhair back into civil war.

The bloodshed might be over but now Lucille finds herself back in the gleaming capital of Elysmere - and in a battle of a different kind.

Her plan is simple. Win the bloodthirsty trials at the Gathering, seduce crown prince Valerean and secure enough power within the court to challenge the king.

But there is one man standing in her way, the same man she betrayed a decade before. Xavien, now eyrie commander whose eyes burn with retribution, is determined to make Lucille pay - in blood if need be.

Torn between loyalty and longing, vengeance and guilt, Lucille walks a knife's edge between the two men who were once her childhood companions.

As ancient powers rise, allegiances are broken and secrets unravel, Lucille must decide if she will be the calm that secures the future - or the storm that blows it all apart.
