They fought an institution to keep their bond. Now they're about to find out exactly how far someone else will go to steal the precedent that protected it.Elena finally has the life she spent an entire impossible season fighting for - Milo safe, a sealed bond no Council can touch, a future that, for the first time, feels like hers to keep. Then a letter arrives from a house neither of them has ever heard of, requesting their presence as "expert witnesses" on the very precedent their story created.What waits at Villa Emberlynn is beautiful, immaculate, and wrong in a way Elena can't quite name - until she meets a girl whose composure looks exactly like the mask Elena used to wear herself, and whose eyes, for one unguarded second, say something her carefully arranged smile never will.Some houses win by force. This one has never lost a single dispute in twenty years, and Elena is starting to understand why. Getting close enough to the truth means risking the one thing she and Folcard fought an entire Council to protect - and this time, the enemy isn't hiding in the shadows. She's hosting the party.Book Three of The Glacial Chronicles - the final chapter of a forced-bond romantasy about what it costs to be truly free, and what you owe the people who taught you it's safe to be loved.
