Our story will begin directly after the events of the sneak peak at the end of A Court Of Frost and Starlight. I am including just the end of that chapter here for those of you who have no had a chance to read it yet. 

As it takes place after all the events of the book including ACOFAS, A Court of Dark and Decay does have spoilers for ACOFAS in it. 

Nesta didn't bother to look pleasant as Feyre twisted to face her. Her sister swallowed. "We need to make some changes, Nesta." Feyre said hoarsley. "You do- and we do."

They were kicking her out. Throwing her to the wind, perhaps to go back to the human lands-

"I'll take the blame," Feyre went on, "for things getting this far, and getting this bad. After the war, with everything else that was going on, it... you ...I should have been there to help you, but I wasn't, and I am ready to admit that this is partially my fault."

"That what is you fault," Nesta demanded.

"You," Cassian said from the armchair to her left. "This bullshit behavior."

Her spine locked up, fire boiled in her veins at the insult, the arrogance-

"I understand how you're feeling." Feyre cut in. 

"You know nothing of about how I'm feeling," Nesta snapped.

"It's time for some changes," Feyre plowed ahead. "Starting now."

"Keep your self righteous do-gooder nonsense out of my life."

"You don't have a life." Feyre retorted. "You have quite the opposite. And I'm not going to sit by and watch you destroy yourself for another minute." 

"Oh?" 

Rhys tensed, but said nothing, as he'd promised. 

"I want you out of Velaris." Feyre breathed, her voice shaking. 

Nesta tried- tried and failed- not to feel the blow, the sting of the words. Though she didn't know why she was suprised by it. There were no paintings of her in this house, they did not invite her to parties or dinners anymore, they certainly didn't visit- 

"And where," Nesta asked, her voice mercifully icy, "am I supposed to go?" 

Feyre only looked at Cassian.

And for once the Illyrian warrior wasn't grinning as he said, "You're coming with me to the Illyrian Mountians."
