A Court of Wings and Ruin

The war against Hybern has begun, and Feyre — now embedded as a spy in Tamlin's Spring Court — must gather intelligence and undermine its alliances from within before making her escape. Once she returns to the Night Court, the focus shifts to the building coalition: every court in Prythian must be brought to the negotiating table, old grievances set aside, and an army assembled that can face the Cauldron-backed might of the King of Hybern. Nesta and Elain Archeron, transformed into High Fae against their will, process their change in sharply contrasting ways. The book moves across Prythian in a manner more operationally sprawling than its predecessors, converging all seven courts and their politics toward a war that will determine the fate of both the Fae world and the mortal lands below the wall. The climax brings the full inner circle to open battle and delivers the kind of ending the series had been building toward — at considerable cost.
