Diana Vale has kept three things intact for twenty-three years: the relics in her vault, the silence of her body, and the careful distance between herself and anything that could leave.
She is perfect for this. That's why they're sending her.
The Veil of Lyralei is the holiest relic in human theology—crystallized divine memory, six centuries old, cracking at the centre. It requires a keeper of absolute purity to stabilize it. Diana is the only candidate. She boards the train for the Crystal Court with her tools and her discipline and her perfect, immovable composure, and she does not look back.
She doesn't know that Lord Solarin has been watching her for six months.
She doesn't know about the scrying crystals, or the workroom he arranged to her exact habits, or the two and a half millennia he has spent waiting for the last bond in the Blood Debt Prophecy to fall into place.
She doesn't know that everything about her arrival has been planned—the rooms, the light, the relic on its pedestal—and that the one thing he hasn't planned for is how much harder it will be to destroy her composure when he can see her face.
The Crystal Court is beautiful. Diana was warned. She didn't understand, until now, that beautiful was the danger.
He has no intention of being gentle with her.
She has no intention of breaking.
One of them is wrong.
The final book in the Dark Faeverse series.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
