Five years after being exiled to Illyria, Nesta turns up in a small country across the sea, with three children in tow. She's not looking for help anymore, but Cassian's lost her too many times to do so again, and this time, he has more at stake than ever before, if those three Illyrian-winged children have got anything to do with it.

Post-ACOFAS. As part of a deal with Feyre, Nesta has agreed to live with Cassian in the Illyrian Mountains. However, shortly after her arrival, she receives the startling news that she's pregnant from one of her one-night stands. While she tries to quickly get a grip on her life, Cassian's determined to make her see that she's not facing this alone.
