Join Lindsey, Kelly, and Katharine as we round our our coverage of Dire Bound by Sable Sorensen with chapters 45-58.

After Meryn's mother’s funeral brings the pack together, she discovers hidden journals that hint at a long-forgotten legacy...and put Anassa on HIGH ALERT! But these buried secrets begin to surface when she finds evidence linking her mother’s drawings to the lost Sturmfrost Queens, the original rulers of Nocturna. With the Unity Trial looming, and whispers of betrayal growing louder, Meryn must navigate friendships, blood oaths, and an increasingly unstable bond with Killian (that she just cannot see deteriorating!)

The final trial turns deadly, ending in Meryn’s public beheading of King Cyril and Killian’s betrayal. Imprisoned and silenced, Meryn uncovers the full truth... she is Meryn Sturmfrost, true heir to the throne. With the ancient crown reclaimed and her destiny revealed, she races to expose a centuries-old blood curse, free imprisoned children beneath the castle (Including her sister!), and confront a new enemy: Alistair Brightbane, the Siphon who now wears Killian’s skin (super gross).

Truths unravel, her friends SHOW UP when she needs them, and she is left with some very unwanted gifts. As the story ends, Meryn must face her greatest heartbreak yet and she vows vengeance against Killian with the full force of her bloodline behind her. THE QUEEN IS BACK, Y'ALL
