One Fae son or daughter from each High Court family will be delivered in the Offering to the king. Cress Blackthorn has thirty days of freedom until she can never see, speak to, or hear from her family again. And in that time, a cryptic Seer and a dangerous rogue will complicate her destiny. What is the Offering, and why does the king need her and the others? Will they be delivered to death or embrace a dark fate?
The Order awaits...
Houseless, nameless, and hidden away in the Elorn Mountains, Cress and her highborn companions will be molded into merciless servants of the realm as they're encouraged to unlock the true depths of their magical abilities for the first time. Immense focus, determination, and cunning will be needed to succeed, but Cress must untangle her heartstrings from those who came before and those yet to come if she wants to survive the Order and its perilous purpose.
