The torc is whole and the war-goddess awake. With one of her dragons taken, Emily will cross all Ireland to get him back — and still refuse to choose.
mily Nicolson came to Ireland to find a mysterious artifact. She's staying as the Sovereign of the whole green island — Flame-Sworn, torc-crowned, and bound heart and body to three dragon-shifter brothers who would burn the world before they'd let her fall.
But finishing the Torc of Sovereignty woke something older and colder than any enemy she's faced. The Morrigan. The carrion-goddess. Brigid's own dark sister — and she wants Emily's power, Emily's country, and the four-fold bond that makes her impossible to break.
When the Morrigan's general drags Cian, the healer, down into a breeding-prison hollowed into the Donegal cliffs, Emily doesn't hesitate. She'll cross the length of Ireland to get him back — waking the Stone of Destiny under the hill of the high kings, paying a sea-god's toll on water no land-queen owns, and going down into the freezing halls of the Deep to win an ally that has every reason to drown her instead. Every mile costs her. Every ward on that mountain was built to break the exact thing she's become.
And at the bottom of it all waits the oldest bargain in the world — the one that killed the goddess before her. The power, or the ones she loves. Choose one.
Emily has a different answer.
Some crowns are worn alone. This one won't be.
Some bonds are forged in fire. Some fires were always meant to burn.
And some women were never made to choose.
