Secrets and danger stalk the streets of Astreiant…

Pursued by false accusations, Eslingen takes him on the run to Point of Knives while they try to unravel a plot against the queen and her government that could destroy the city they love. Can they count on alliances from their pasts to keep them safe long enough to solve the mystery?

“I always say how each book in the Points series is better than the last, and Point of Hearts continues the trend. Nico and Philip are dealing with so many emotions, and the story is at turns intense, intriguing, heart-rending, and romantic. It’s a work of art how Nico and Philip put the chaotic clues together to try and bring closure to an impossible case.” Maryann, Queer Sci-Fi
