Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks.

But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants-to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. He may have taken her, but he will never have her.Ĭasteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. He wants her to fight him, and that’s one order she’s more than happy to obey. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with.
