Effie Harlow does not have much time left. The gates to the divine realm must be opened, and every second of delay costs someone something. She and her five mates push into the shadowlands, a territory ruled by a dark god, searching for the way through. What they find there is worse and stranger than any of them prepared for: the truth about the creators of this universe, and the truth about Effie herself. Her power runs deeper than she ever suspected. That knowledge sharpens her resolve rather than breaking it. The balance between realms is broken, and people are suffering because of it. Effie intends to fix that. She found her place at Silver Falls University and with the five shifters who have claimed her as their own. They are protective, possessive, and unwilling to lose her. She is equally unwilling to let anyone take what she has built. This is the fifth and final book in M. Sinclair's Silver Falls University series, and it closes out Effie's slow-burn reverse harem romance with the full weight of everything she has survived behind her.
