First published 2015
Six months ago, Syn was an Enforcer and a Witch who despised the Fae. None of that is true anymore. She stands in a world she barely recognizes, pregnant with twins fathered by a Fae male she once thought was the Dark Prince. He is not. The land around them is dying, and the Mages are moving closer every day. Syn has to look at the people she once called enemies and decide which of them she can trust enough to fight beside. The alliances she builds now will determine whether anyone survives what is coming. Gods and Goddesses are pulling at the edges of the conflict, and their quarrels do not care who gets caught in the middle. Syn is not the woman she was. She lost her title, her identity, and her certainty about who the monsters are. What she has left is the father of her children, a war on her doorstep, and the hard work of choosing to fight for something instead of against it. The emotional weight here is not the battle. It is the question of who Syn has become and whether that person is strong enough to hold everything together.
