In the wake of the Elders’ betrayal, Cadeyrn is forced to shift into his inner beast, making him flee the Queen’s Isle and become entrapped by a vindictive former lover and a scheming succubus.

Neysa’s search for her missing mate leads her deeper down a path of betrayal and self-doubt, taking her to Heilig, the ancestral lands of her mother’s kin. Her uncle, King Konstantín, has called upon Neysa to aid in ridding their lands of an army of phantomes, restless spirits of the dead, plaguing Heilig.

What Neysa doesn’t know, is that her life may be forfeit in order to vanquish the phantomes and their blight upon the lands. The relativity of time itself is stretched when an ancient timepiece forged of both realms, becomes a weapon to separate the fae realm’s major players. The clock moves the tapestry of fate from Heilig and Aoifsing, to the timeless streets of London. Deception embedded deep within the ties which bind Neysa’s family will fray their trust in her and her relationship to a powerful goddess. Left with only the tenuous trust of a former enemy and the realization that Neysa may have given up any chance she ever had at love, she must battle time itself before everyone they know is purged.
