After saving Gwyn's life and managing to fight off the feral season of his land, Rafe flees to the Land of Summer with the girl who has captured the one part of his heart he has managed to keep.
Yet as soon as he finds himself in the other land, Rafe realizes that what he has believed for a century isn't true?and that the truth of the seasonal gods is far more complicated than he ever thought possible, a web of lies and betrayal.
As revelations threaten to shatter Gwyn's dream of finding the Land of Spring, she has to choose once more whether she'll help her beautiful, soft-spoken, fragile yet powerful Autumn god in unraveling the secrets of the seasons, the risk of losing her heart to him more real than ever, or to protect herself and leave his side.
But Autumn is watching both Rafe and Gwyn?the god they turned into a devil and the girl who freed him from his prison?, and it soon seems that making choices of their own is a freedom which neither of them can afford.
The Ink Raven will have to rise once more.
And the mortal girl he loves is the only one who can help him fly as high as the world needs him to.
