But when Queen Magrit learns of her untimely demise from Hecate, Fate of the Future, Magrit burns Hecate at the stake and decrees death to all Entente in order to live forever.
But some survive, including sixteen-year-old Farrow, who hatches a dangerous plan to seek revenge. Along the way, she finds herself falling for the one person who could ruin everything. With life and love hanging in the balance, she must decide who to trust and what’s most important: living in the past or forging a new future.

My Review: I love Danielle Paige's works but this one just wasn't one of them. It felt to me like it was missing a lot of the story and that things just weren't either explained or they were just glossed over. I hope that those holes are cleared up in book two. But as it sits I don't think I will continue the series. This story could have been amazing. However, the main character didn't change their voice when you had two major 5 year jumps and well it all seemed very surface. There was no depth to the story or the characters.
