First published 2013
Synthia and Adam are both mid-Transition, caught between who they were and whatever they are becoming. The process is disorienting and neither of them has solid footing. Meanwhile, Fae are turning up dead, and the list of suspects keeps growing while the body count climbs. Synthia thought she knew who stood in her corner. She was wrong. The people she relied on have turned on her, and the one she should keep at a distance, Ryder, keeps pulling her further into his world. He touches her and then retreats. He shares just enough to make her want more, then hides behind his secrets. Those secrets carry real weight and real consequences. The visions Synthia is seeing of the future look nothing like anything she planned for herself or the people she loves. Outside forces are stripping away her choices, leaving her with options that range from bad to worse. The decisions ahead of her will not just shape her own life. They will determine what happens to two entire worlds. Nothing is going to come out of this the way she once imagined.
