It is already inside the Guild.
As Agatha's influence spreads, Charlotte finds herself hunted by people she once knew and trusted. Former friends now see her as a traitor, while powerful godmothers are willing to use deadly magic to force her into submission. When ten of them attack, Charlotte discovers just how far Agatha's reach extends—and how dangerous the magic supporting her enemies has become.
But Charlotte is no longer the fairy godmother she once was.
The ancient quest cave has changed her, awakened abilities she was never supposed to possess, and revealed that her power is far greater than Agatha believed. Even Celeste, once her enemy, becomes an unlikely ally when the stakes rise high enough.
With Alex at her side, Sir Thomas and Cat ready for battle, and enemies closing in from every direction, Charlotte must fight not only for herself but for the EverAfterans caught in the Guild's schemes.
The question is no longer whether Charlotte can survive.
It is whether she can expose the truth before the people she is sworn to protect become casualties of a magical war.
