While recovering from a near fatal ambush, Micah Stillwater has been spending his days with Andrew Vidasche and the Folk in Lilydale, healing and preparing to live up to his new title of Lord Heartwood. More confident than ever in their relationship, Andrew asks Micah to marry him. Desperate to put their hardships behind them, the couple focuses on planning a wedding in time for the spring equinox, Ostara, a holiday of renewal and hope. But the witches are still out for Micah's blood, and threaten to topple everything Lilydale stands for unless Lord Heartwood can find a way to save his people-and himself.
