Summary
For the past twenty-five years, the kingdom of Havikheim has suffered at the hands of the Malevolent One–its lands plunged into drought, its rivers tainted with poison, vines threading through its borders like the spiderwebs. Now that King James and Queen Joyce’s children, Will and El, are of age to become full members of the court, matters only seem to be getting worse, far worse than the likes of their friends–Mike, Lucas, Max, and Dustin–can handle, especially when the Malevolent One strikes at the very heart of the kingdom. Not only is the future of the kingdom at stake, but Mike must reckon with the feelings he's been harboring for his best friend for the better part of nine years.
But even with the threat of the Malevolent One, Havikheim must learn that its greatest enemy sometimes lies behind the ribs of its citizens, pulsing and bleeding and broken, the body’s most traitorous organ. That, sometimes, the more devastating evil is not the man who wreaks destruction with calculated violence, but a refusal to say that which needs to be said.
Only time will tell if roses hide among the thorns and if life can bloom from that which was once dead and numb in sleep.

After Mike unwittingly stumbles into a series of interpersonal bombshells, he immediately sets out to find Will so he can find out what, exactly, that painting meant, and why Will lied about it. Unfortunately, Mike is obsessively obstinate and relentless to a fault, and he'll go to the literal ends of the earth to get the answers he needs.
