Sharpen Your Claws (The Wicked Ones, #2)

Two years after Fearworn's demise, the realms are safe, or rather, they are supposed to be. After surviving the war against a cursed fae, William Vandervult, now a doctor at one of his family's clinics, has a new list, and this one comprises his missing patients. The authorities claim he exaggerates the disappearances, and the mortal king cares more for throwing parties than investigating. William cannot possibly uncover the truth of this dark plot when the war haunts him so fiercely he cannot trust his mind. Nicholas Darkmoon may have defeated the cursed fae focused on tearing the world asunder, but now he is destined to follow in those footsteps. Caught in a deal with his father, Nicholas hasn't seen William for two long years. He is a rabid dog on a leash, wishing to be set free. When he inevitably reconnects with William, his obsession threatens to tear them apart, literally. However, the only way to discover what has become of William's missing patients and potentially stave off Nicholas' fate is to work together. But William's heart is not as sturdy as he needs it to be, and Nicholas' mind shatters more every day. Being together may be what they desire, but it may also lead to their mutual destruction. Sharpen Your Claws is an epic conclusion to The Wicked Ones duology full of second chances, regret, and everlasting love among our darkest moments.
