A Court of Wings and Ruin

At the Spring Court, Feyre deceives Tamlin and wrecks his alliance with Hybern from within. She escapes with Lucien and returns to Velaris. The High Lords meet, wary of one another, to face the invasion. Feyre seeks old allies such as Miryam and Drakon. In the final battle, the King of Hybern kills Feyre's father; Elain stabs him in the neck, and Nesta beheads him. Amren sheds her Fae form, wipes out what's left of the enemy army and vanishes, but later returns without her old powers. Rhysand dies sealing the Cauldron, and the High Lords, Tamlin among them, bring him back. With the wall gone, Feyre proposes a treaty between humans and faeries. Left open: how each of them will heal.
