In what feels like a conclusion to a series, Marillier brings back not only the protagonists from the first two books, but also Liobhan's family from the Blackthorn and Grim series.

Prince Aolu is kidnapped and his bodyguard Galen, Liobhan's brother, badly hurt. Swan Island sends Dau with a team to help find the prince, but Liobhan can't be a part of it because of their relationship. Meanwhile, Brocc has his own troubles when he and his daughter are banished from the fey realm, and he falls foul of a band of renegades with an agenda. The two story arcs combine in a thrilling climax at the end. This feels like the end of a trilogy as well, which is sad because there is so much material here to make this an ongoing series. I love these characters and wish for more, especially as Brocc's circumstances hint at the potential for a spinoff series of his own.
