The man she loved was a lie. For weeks, Caelum stood beside her, spinning half-truths and smooth temptations until he claimed her heart completely. Then she learned his real name. Caldris is the legend whispered in Nothrek's wind, spoken only in shuttered rooms for fear of summoning his wrath. Now he reveals his true desires and seeks to bind her to his side forever. With the Wild Hunt as their escort, Caldris forces her back to Mistfell village, back to the boundary where the Veil once shimmered. The Mist Guard have sworn to prevent anyone from crossing into Alfheimr or stepping on Faerie soil, even if innocents die in the process. They carry orders to rebuild Mistfell's barrier, but the magic demands a price greater than anyone has revealed. The people of Nothrek blamed her when the Veil first fell. Soon they will demand she pay what the magic requires.
