Equinox of Two Courts

On the day of the spring equinox, the courts of the Summer Queen and Winter King meet at a neutral glade to renew their ancient pact. This year, both sides have requested mortal mediators after accusations of broken promises and stolen favors. Navigate fae politics, survive dangerous tests of wit and courage, and ensure that the balance of seasons is preserved—or reshaped.
