Part One: Novice

Nesta Archeron, the older sibling of Feyre, struggles with the emotional aftermath of the Hybern war. She is pushing away her loved ones by participating in destructive behaviors such as drinking and gambling. With worry, Feyre and Rhysand intervene and relocate Nesta to stay with Cassian at the House of Wind, where she must undergo training and assist in the library. Reluctantly, Nesta agrees to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. On her journey, she encounters new figures such as the priestesses at the library and Emerie, a young Illyrian warrior who has been injured.

While training with Cassian and working in the library, Nesta enhances her knowledge of the Fae world and its history. At the same time, a fresh danger approaches as Briallyn, an earthly queen, attempts to rejuvenate herself by harnessing the Cauldron’s power. With the help of Koschei, a death lord, and Beron, the High Lord of the Autumn Court, Briallyn initiates the creation of an army. During this tumultuous period, Nesta uncovers her link to the Cauldron and starts to reveal the full magnitude of her abilities.

She forms a strong bond with Emerie and Gwyn, a priestess who helps her in the library, over time. Unitedly, they explore Valkyrie combat methods, helping Nesta confront her previous trauma and start a journey toward healing, both physically and emotionally.

In the search for the Dread Trove, which contains powerful artifacts made by the Cauldron, Nesta plays a crucial role in obtaining the Mask, a crucial item for their quest. Nevertheless, conflict escalates between her and her family as they struggle with her recently acquired skills and her crucial part in the fight against Briallyn and Koschei.

Their abilities and physical prowess are challenged when they are abducted and forced to take part in the Blood Rite, a demanding Illyrian induction ceremony for fighters. Their resilience is tested to the maximum as they traverse dangerous landscapes, encounter lethal beings, and confront unfriendly male fighters.

Throughout these obstacles, their connection strengthens as they count on each other for survival and encouragement.
