Meanwhile, her Sister Winter, Sister Spring, and Sister Summer have brought forth only peace. When an Order from the Grimoire sends Agatha to the Kingdom of Merveille, she already anticipates the worst.

Within the court, many players harbor dark secrets—including her new husband. With her newfound influence, Agatha joins forces with the city’s Blacklisted in order to blur the lines between the common man and the elite, unravel the mysteries in her marriage, and decide once and for all if she will defy the Grimoire and face the brutal consequences.As secrets unfold, will Agatha continue to slay on behalf of the Grimoire, or forge an uncharted History with her unlikely allies?Book on of the Sisters Solstice Series, coming 09/22/22 from Phantom House Press
