Meanwhile, Sonnet joins the Green Club at school and without talking to Zeke about it, she asks his activist father to speak at the Arbor Day assembly—a collision of worlds that Zeke wanted more than anything to avoid.

Fate Sealed

"Playing games can have deadly consequences. After exposing a secret lab and illegal experiments, I assumed the culprits would be held accountable.

As I dig deeper into the Dumont family's past, I find a surprising connection to the present. The fae have been manipulating events far longer than anyone suspects, and the Wild Hunt is closing in on any witch who dares to use fae magic—including me. Dragged into the fae realm, I'm forced to compete in their games where every choice could mean my death. Worse, the fae hold no love for witches, not even those with royal blood. They would rather watch us all die than see one of us emerge victorious. With the odds stacked against me, there's only one way to save the boy whose fate is entwined with mine and the other witches brought here against their will. I have to win."
