City of Sands and Cursed Flame
(2027)(The fourth book in the Ink of the Fae series)
A novel by N Z Nasser
The lighthouse is dark. The High Crown has woken. The oldest court in Faerie has lit her pyre.
Faerie is breathing again, barely, and Ysa is the reason. Leadership of the Circle is hers, the dragons are safe, and Zephyr is back at her side. Maren rebuilds the Nebulas, Lore rises from the shadows, and for a fragile moment, it seems as though the realm might finally heal. But fate is not so easily rewritten.
The Binder has been taken for daring to shape a kinder Faerie. Her trail leads Ysa and Zephyr to the last place in the realm they should ever go. For millennia, the Court of Embers has smouldered on the fringes of Faerie’s politics, kindling tragedy--and Zephyr is darkly satisfied to be hunting them. Their decree that Ysa will never wear the High Crown only sharpens his intent.
Ysa doesn’t want it. She yearns for something dangerously simple: to lead the Circle, keep those she loves alive, and nights beneath starry skies with her mate. But the crown has a will of its own. As Ysa and Zephyr enter the one court in Faerie that neither ink nor lore has ever mapped, Elowen listens at doors never meant to be opened, and the cost of finding the Binder climbs higher.
Between love and defiance, when dragon fire is pitted against a court of flame-wielders, one of their own will make a choice that is paid for in blood.
City of Sands and Cursed Flame is the fourth novel in the romantasy series Ink of the Fae. Perfect for fans of Nisha J. Tuli and Rebecca Yarros, this is a story of wild magic, deadly courts, and love that burns bright enough to reshape a world.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
