The covenant's price now lives in Ronan, and the final reckoning reaches the crown, the Order, and the Sundered family that was broken to preserve them. Lyra must find a way to confront the design without repeating the sacrifice demanded of her. Ronan's wolf and the fate of their bond hang on a choice neither can make alone.
As old debts come due, Lyra and Ronan face those who used law and prophecy to decide whose lives were expendable. The aftermath asks how a realm can be remade after its secrets become public. Their future depends on replacing the old bargain with a vow both can choose freely.

• the loyalties revealed by old family records.
• a bond tested by secrets and difficult choices.
