"Yoke of the Vale"

When an Ignisfae dignitary is brutally murdered, the fragile balance of Alternis begins to fracture, and Lily Brennanfalk finds herself at the center of the storm. While serving as a diplomatic envoy in the Caelifae wind city of Limnaer, Lily's mission ends in disaster when Eiulans—the king's most powerful advisor—is found dead. Lily is certain she knew who the killer was: Dashelle, a Vale Born believed to have died long ago. But no one else saw her. As doubt creeps in and the impossible details refuse to align, Lily begins to question her own memory—and her sanity. Yet while suspicion tightens around her, something far more dangerous is unfolding across the realm. One thing is certain: the murder was only the beginning. A hidden design is taking shape—one that could tear Alternis apart and place unimaginable power in the wrong hands. With Rannoch at her side and enemies moving in the shadows, Lily must uncover the truth before the realm falls. Because some power can change the world. And some power can destroy it. Yoke of the Vale is the 4th and final book in the Vale Born series
