The entire university—and soon the nation—anticipates her failure. With the Fairy King vanquished and Myrddin's legacy revealed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy. Who is she without her stories? Meanwhile, Preston grapples with a simmering rage as he dreams of a palace under the sea, where he reigns as king—visions that haunt him even in waking life. As the conflict between Llyr and Argant escalates, Effy and Preston find themselves ensnared in the chaos: Effy risks losing her dreams, while Preston risks losing himself. Are dreams ever truly just dreams?
