But the ‘Undead queen’ has been haunted by deceased queens ever since she was pushed into the Breccia Domain at Beltane. To make matters worse, Fennbirn is plagued by abnormal deaths in the mist that many see as the Goddess’s disapproval towards Katherine. Indeed, no one is more opposed to Katherine than a growing rebellion led by none other than naturalist-warrior Jules, newly christened the Legion queen. Meanwhile, Mirabella and Arsinoe try to adapt to mainland life while mysterious dreams of the fabled Blue Queen draw Arsinoe’s thoughts back to the island. Will this be the end of the era of Fennbirn Queens?
