If I ever wanted this endless running and fighting to stop, I would have to deal with the Iron King.

But just outside her house she encounters Iron Fey, sent by the new False King of the Iron Court. Meg is now seventeen and Ash is no longer a prince, and the two are on their way to Meg’s old home in Louisiana to tell her parents she is back home and ready to resume a “normal” life. In spite of helping to save Summer and Winter from the Iron Fey Court, they committed the more egregious crime of falling in love with one another. Half-Summer-fey Meghan Chase and the all-fey Winter Prince Ash have been exiled out of Nevernever back to the human world. This book starts shortly after the events at the end of Book Two. This is the third in the Iron Fey Series, which began with The Iron King and continued with The Iron Daughter. There are spoilers for Books One and Two, but none for this book.
