Princess Jasalyn has eleven days to live.
Jasalyn is facing the repercussions of a deadly bargain. Her life, and the future of the shadow court, are forfeit on her birthday unless she can stop the evil fae king Mordeus. She needs to face her greatest fears and find him before she runs out of time, but even after everything, Kendrick won’t let her face this alone.
Shape-shifter Felicity has vanished.
Felicity disappeared from King Misha’s dungeons, and her friends have been searching for her to no avail. But even if she’s found, Felicity will never be able to escape the oracle’s tragic prophecy for her and her family. In her lonely battle with fate, Misha is the last person she can ask to stand by her side, but the first one she’ll need.

Like with Beneath These Cursed Stars, I wanted to love this novel. However, when the book opens on Jas having slept for 8 months and not wanting to cut her finger off to remove the ring in order to cut off some of the power transferring to Mordeus and Felicity with magical amnesia, it just feels like lazy writing to up the tension. I know I didn't give it much time (I only finished chapter 2) but I feel like the second book in a series should be able to start stronger than this.
I love Ryan's contemporary books set in New Hope, so I am disappointed I just couldn't connect with her fantasy books. For this series, the first two are maybes and the last two are definitely passes.
