Seb vanishes onto Temple's grounds and Briar resigns themself to a mundane life.

And worse, the secrets Temple is hiding might not be so magical after all, but a dark conspiracy with implications that extend far beyond the gates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreviously featured in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/litjoycrate.com\/pages\/to-bee-read-book-box-subscription\" title=\"LitJoy's To Bee Read Book Box Subscription\"\u003eTo Bee Read Book Box Subscription\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Please be aware that slight variations in color, hue, or overall appearance between our product images and the physical item may occur due to factors such as lighting, screen settings, and manufacturing variations.
