The trials begin.
Skylar arrives in the Inner Kingdom, but the danger of the trials is only half the battle she will have to face. The courts of the High Fae are as treacherous as they are mysterious to a foreign outsider. Skylar will have to navigate obstacles in the trials, along with the politics and mind games of the other fae creatures living in the Inner Kingdom.
The ever-watchful Daxton never wavers from his promise to protect Skylar with all he is, alongside his cunning brother Castor and new allies of Crimson City.
As the trial of the mind approaches, Skylar readies herself to accomplish what no other shifter has yet to achieve. Will she overcome the odds and succeed in the first trial? Will she be able to unlock the secrets of what lies hidden in the labyrinth and continue to the trial of the body?
Only her heart can guide her to victory.

Review :
"When I tell you this was on of the best 2nd books I've ever read, I absolutely mean it!! I'm telling you right now Skylar and Dax are legit my top 3 fantasy couple. Their love for each other is unmatched and they face so much and still have this whitty banter that is so amazing. I have no words for the cliffhanger of an ending!"

"OH MY GOD! Where do I even begin!? This book is just amazing! If you don't believe me find out for yourself by reading it because WOW!
There were so many things in here that just threw a curveball at me, and I loved it. This book compared to book one is spicy and I am not complaining about it!! I absolutely DEVOURED this book. It was so good I stoped at 80% and just let it settle for a couple of days because I DID NOT want it to end!! I am more than ready for book 3 after that plot twist ending ������������
Valdor 2025 here I come"-

"J.E. Larson has done it again folks. This series has gotten me out of the WORST reading slump that i've experienced. Skylar and Dax's relationship is to die for and the cliffhanger at the end already has me biting my nails ready for the next book. Usually, when reading the second book of the series, it's either going to be worse or just as good as the first book. I'll be damned if I don't say this one was even better. Skylar is such a great fmc and that's hard to find sometimes with fantasy novels but this series is just hitting all of the marks for me. I cannot wait for the next book to come out."
