Laurel has accepted what she is. A faerie. But accepting her true nature doesn't mean abandoning her human life or her boyfriend David. She wants both worlds. Then Avalon calls her back. In the faerie realm, Tamani waits for her. The sentry who has loved her patiently tells her he cannot simply take her away. He cannot storm in and declare his feelings. He must wait until she asks him to. "And if I don't?" Laurel whispers. His answer cuts deep: "Then I guess I'll be waiting forever." Now Laurel faces an impossible decision. Her feelings for Tamani grow stronger each moment she spends in Avalon. But returning to the faerie world means leaving David behind. It means choosing one life over another. The choice threatens to shatter her heart no matter what she decides.
