I'm not going to post my full summary on there, but I think it'll go something like this:

Between everything that creates rifts in Sophie and Fitz's relationship, they break up, but not hatefully, because they know they need to focus on the Neverseen.

Sophie needs a shoulder to cry on, and Keefe, who has been exactly where he said he'd be, is there for her immediately.

They get no updates on Tam which is freaking out Linh. (Insert Lylie moments here.)

They get a cache somehow, and it's about Vespera's Forbidden Cities hideout, and they realize that this is where they are. For the first chance since Lodestar they have a chance to fight back.

But...Keefe's mind breaks. Good thing one of his best friends is the only elf in the FREAKIN UNIVERSE that can heal broken minds. When she's healing him, she sees the gold tinted memories, and it's surprisingly easy to transmit feelings of love and warmth to him. When Keefe wakes up, he realizes that she saw the memories--but he doesn't make it akward; he just presents those as the facts and lets her choose. CONCLUSION OF SHIPPING PROGRESS FOR THE BOOK.

They go to the Forbidden-cities-Nightfall-wannabe and Tam is forced to fight against him, but...he isn't. He's been brainwashed, and he believes he is fighting against what he used to believe for a better world. Linh helps him come to reality, and he sabatoges the Neverseen in an epic Darth Vader moment. Then, Linh goes into Scarlet Witch mode THE MODE OF A COMPLETELY NON-CLICHE CHARACTER WHO BECOMES MUCH MORE POWERFUL AFTER THE LOSS OF HER BROTHER.

Then....rip Tam, but Ruy finally dies. The Black Swan has finally found a weakness!

IDK what the cliffhanger might be.
