Born in the shadow of Amarantha's brutal reign, 𝑵𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒆 has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at the foot of the mountains in Cesere, her life has been one of ritual, restraint, and restless longing for answers she's longed stopped asking for. But when Hybern's forces descend on her temple months after Amarantha's fall, she is forced to watch her sanctuary burn - and with it, the only family she's ever known.
Rescued by her court's High Lord, she is offered refuge in the House of Wind, a place where ancient magic breathes over stone and scarred wings silhouette a starlit sky. But grief leaves her hollow, and dreams of blood-stained snow and a tether to something unknown stalk her sleep in the library beneath the House.
As war builds on the horizon, Nephele draws the attention of Rhysand's Inner Circle. His spymaster, 𝑨𝒛𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍, cannot understand why his shadows seek her out. His general, 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒏, is haunted by the sense that he's known her far longer than he should. His second-in-command, Amren, scents forgotten secrets slumbering beneath her skin. His cousin and confidant, Mor, watches as the threads of fate weave together despite the unraveling caused by Nephele's arrival.
But something stirs in her blood. A power she never knew. A truth she was never told - buried beneath a life built on lies. To stop what is coming, Nephele must uncover what was taken from her. She must decide what - and who - she's willing to fight for before the Cauldron comes to full power.
And what it will take to awaken the 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 within her heart.
