In the aftermath of the Crowning Ceremony, the Achilles Heel and the Crown are no longer clashing in the shadows or pulling strings behind Trials. The war for the fate of the magical world is finally out in the open.

Charlie didn't know what she was getting into when she was forced to fight for the Heel. Nor did she want to fight anyone. But she's not the same person she was when she first stepped into The Magisterium of Magic. Not after everything that's happened, after everything she's done. Trapped between two kings, nothing is simple; nothing is black and white.

Lawrence Hart has been preparing for this war for decades. And now everything is playing out just how he wants. Eden is manifesting before him. If only he could crush the Heel, and then his plans would be realized. Always two moves ahead, he might be able to do just that.

Michael Kale, now the king he never wanted to be, shoulders the responsibility of all the Regulars and low status Users he's protecting. Long as he wanted revenge against the man who shattered his family, but now he's fighting for more. Backed by the power of other Masters and Royals, the Heel has never been stronger.

But there is a traitor in their midst, with enough power to bring either side to its knees.

Two Harts. Two Kings. One Crown.

In the final installment of The Royal Trilogy, love and loyalties will collide. Only one will rule.
