The Order has gained the advantage. But can you truly outmaneuver all-powerful, all-knowing, merciless enemies?

Learning the truth about the malevolenci war changes everything. The fairies, jinn, and vampires have already rebelled, and now zealots threaten to go a step further by siding with the enemy. Traitors are everywhere. Covert plots disrupt centuries of peace. Those still loyal to the Order must end the war quickly, or else there won't be an Order left to save.

For Esme, their greatest ally's reappearance is soul-shaking. She knows they must work together, but what does this mean for Esme and Owen's relationship? And what is Esme's place now that she's not their world's only protector? Do they even need her anymore...or want her?

By invading the heart of the malevolenci world, Esme and Owen have a chance to end this war once and for all. Their elite cavali team is ready to face the dangers of the demon's hellscape, but the greatest threat is one they never see coming.
