All stories must come to an end. While she may never know the full story of what happened the day she defeated the Fairy King and Hireath Manor finally sunk beneath the waves, Effy considers it a victory. She's free from her nightmares, and her dream of becoming the first woman to be enrolled in the prestigious literature college has finally come true. But some dreams are dangerous. Effy may have been admitted, but that doesn't mean she's accepted, and as she and Preston pen their thesis, it feels like the entire nation is waiting for them to fail. As Preston watches Effy's dreams slowly crumble, a rage begins to simmer inside him, ringing in his ears like bells. He begins to dream of a palace under the sea, a world where he is king - visions that start to follow him even in waking. And when the long brewing war between Llyr and Argant finally explodes, the line between dreams and reality blurs even further, and Effy and Preston find themselves caught in the crossfire, Effy losing her dreams and Preston losing himself in his. Are dreams ever truly just dreams
