The electrifying conclusion to the stunning Shakespearean fantasy trilogy, The Forge & Fracture Saga.

It all ends with the Fae Queen.

The fragile peace pact between humans and Fae has been shattered. Once again, magical forces terrorise the streets of Jacobean London under the command of their queen, Titania. To save her beloved city, seventeen-year-old Joan Sands must banish the Fae, just as her ancestors did two thousand years ago.

As a child of the Orisha, Joan is armed with gifts from the gods. She will need her trusted magical sword and the power to manipulate metal in the war that is coming.

But faced with the lies of the past and the formidable power of the Fae, Joan must decide if her world is worth saving or if it is time to forge something frighteningly new?
