Quick recap

Aelin spends months as Maeve's prisoner, tortured in an iron coffin, with Fenrys beside her. Rowan, Lorcan, Gavriel and Elide search for her. Aedion and Lysandra defend Terrasen, Manon tries to unite the Crochan and Ironteeth witches, and Dorian goes after the Wyrdkeys. Aelin is freed and heads north. The Thirteen, Manon's coven, sacrifice themselves to bring down a witch tower, and Gavriel dies defending the gates of Orynth. Aelin kills Maeve, and Dorian, Lysandra, Elide and Yrene defeat Erawan. Aelin forges the Lock, sends the gods away and survives, her magic nearly spent. She is crowned Queen of Terrasen, and Manon becomes queen of the witches.
