Spoilers:, in the finale I am a big fan and also a Jacks apologist. So this book has like a dual viewpoint Scarlett and Donatella and we look into more about Jack’s kind which is they call a Fate. So there are a bunch of kinds of fates and because of the end of the carnival game the second book they sort of like purposely release all the fates. So all hell broke loose at Meridian Empire And it's up to the four of them which is Scarlett, Julian, Donatella and Dante to fix this and they also have the help of their friends. So, in this it was revealed that Scarlett is half of a fate because her father is a fate and turns out the abusive dad is not Scarlett’s dad. Scarlett and Donatella are half-sisters and wturns out their mother is the Princess of that Kingdom and Scarlett 's father is trying to take over the Kingdom and enslave the humans there. There's this one scene that really breaks my heart where Scarlett has to use her power of emotions to make Julian hits her if not her father worked till Julian and it was so heartbreaking I can't. But in the end, they succeeded because her father's weakness is the same weakness as Legend which is love. So they kill the father and then she becomes the Empress and let's not forget about Donatella, so to save Scarlett and like they're forming a plan they have to team up with Jacks. So before that there was a scene where Dante broke Donatella’s heart because he wants to make her immortal but being immortal means they don’t know the true feeling of love and Donatella doesn’t want that and Dante didn’t wanna sacrifice his immortality. She was so heartbroken and then Jacks came along and Donatella asked Jacks to take away the pain and he performed this ritual where it took away the pain but later on the book it was found out that it was like a marriage bond and Donnatella was so pissed off when she finally realized it and then rushed to towards Jacks and Jacks said “hello wife”, which is like so hot and then he said to in order to break the bond she has to slice his skin and she did and it's kind of sad because Jacks really wants her to love him because his heart starts beating because of her so in theory Jacks believed that Donatella is his one true love so fast forwarding to the almost end of the series almost the end of the book Jacks made the deal with Donatella he said that he could help Donatella to get into the castle and help Scarlett, but Donatella has to come with Jacks and they have to make it like a performance. This means Donatella sacrificed herself and is in the under the influence of Jacks, she belongs to jacks and somehow she's feeling absolutely in love with jacks and not in love with Legend or Dante. But after in the aftermath where Jacks wanted to take away Donatella because he feared that Legend will take her away but suddenly Donatella’s love to legend is bigger than it broke the bond between Jacks and Donatella is in love with Dante and leaving Jacks behind which is really sad. Dante sacrificed his immortality to be with Donatella. In the end Scarlett becomes emperors Donatella becomes a Princess, Scarlett is happy with Julian, Donatella is with Dante and Jacks just went away all the fates went away and yeah that's the end of the story and this is one of the best story I've ever read the best series yet so hands down to Stephanie Garber for making this series I don't know how your brain works but I am so impressed.
