A court of silver flames
Description
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Formerly supporting players Nesta and Cassian take center stage in the latest installment of Maas' Court of Thorns and Roses series (after A Court of Wings and Ruin, 2017). Nesta, who will be familiar to readers as series heroine Feyre's prickly sister, is in a dark place. She's angry at having been turned from human to high fae during the war with Hybern, guilt-ridden at her inability to save her father's life, and drowning her self-loathing in wine and casual sex. Feyre and Rhysand, fed up with her antics, offer an ultimatum: either she is exiled back to the human world, or she agrees to a training regimen with Cassian, Rhys' best friend, a warrior with a troubled past whom Nesta has never hesitated to verbally spar with. Nesta reluctantly agrees, and readers follow her physical and mental journey of healing, even as she faces her growing feelings for Cassian, her own untapped powers, and looming threats to the fragile, hard-won peace. Maas' many fans will no doubt be thrilled with this latest offering, which is a fast-paced, sexy, and at times surprisingly emotional ode to female empowerment.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Maas' Court of Thorns and Roses has a devoted following, so much so that this installment was kept under tight wraps until the release date--so expect fans to be all over this one.
