His careful invisibility crumbles. A girl enters his life, someone he never expected to care about. His family faces new threats. Ethan must abandon the safety of pretending blindness. Destiny pulls him back toward the land of Faery he despises. An ancient danger stirs, something forgotten for ages. Ethan cannot run from what hunts him.
