Synopsis
The last few days have been the darkest of Sally’s life.
After experiencing the joy of finding her mate, she now suffers the pain of
losing everything she holds dear. Both the Romanian and Serbian packs have been
captured, ripping Sally’s soul mate away from her almost as soon as she had
found him. Her best friend and the emotional glue that usually holds Sally
together, Jacque Pierce, lies writhing in a restless coma, having been put down
by Desdemona’s dark magic. Jennifer Adams, the unshakable one, has revealed to
her friends and her mate that she is pregnant, but the Fates have marked her
unborn baby for death. Though she rails against the darkness, deep inside
Jen knows that Decebel’s baby must die as payment for her own life, and the
knowledge is tearing her soul to pieces. Cypher, King of the Warlocks, has
claimed Jacque’s mother as his mate and agreed to help Desdemona open a door
that would release a horde of demons from beyond the Veil.
Though her world is crashing down around her, Sally holds out
hope. The Great Luna is not sitting idly by. She has commanded the
Fey council to call upon the packs—all of them. And though Cypher looks
for a way to open the Veil for Desdemona, he struggles to protect Lilly and the
wolves at the same time. Peri, the ever-courageous High Fae, and a
contingent of the remaining females of the Romanian and Serbian packs, push on
through the rough Carpathian Mountains. Though they are bound to the human
realm, they continue to search for a way to cross over to the land of the Fey.
Meanwhile, in reluctant obedience to the Great Luna, the Fey council sends
representatives to the far corners of the globe, meeting with the pack
Alphas. The Fey must convince the Alphas of every pack to lay aside their
petty territorial squabbles and battles of dominance. If they refuse, both the
humans and the supernatural races will fall at Mona’s feet.
Sally holds to a shred of hope. Though Vasile, Decebel, and their
pack mates endure the torture of the In-Between, living their worst nightmares
over and over, Sally holds. Though she knows that it is only a matter of time
before their wolves take over, she holds. Sally knows that if the males die,
then so too will their mates who have performed the Blood Rites, including her
best friends Jen and Jacque. Yet she holds. If the males lose themselves
to their wolves and turn feral, so too do their mates. Still she holds.
Though Vasile, the strongest Alpha in their history to unite the wolves, is
lost beyond the Veil, Sally holds. Though Decebel, the only other wolf
besides Vaile strong enough to unite the packs, suffers beyond the Veil, Sally
will hold. No one is left to unite their race, and defeat Desdemona. Yet
Sally still holds. She holds out hope that the Great Luna will not
abandon them, cannot abandon them. Throughout the
centuries, the Great Luna has always provided a gypsy healer to the packs,
especially in times of great need. Now Sally is that healer. Sally fears what
role she has to play in the defeat of Desdemona, but she will play it.
Though heaven and hell unite against her, she WILL play it.
For too long the supernatural races have lived in separation,
warring amongst themselves, allowing trivial power plays and selfish disputes
to keep them from uniting. That separation has made them weak. Now, being
summoned as a collective force to the same land, will they come? Will
they come in numbers greater than have been seen in centuries? Will they
destroy each other and save Mona the trouble, or will they finally unite and
fight as one?
