I'll stop at nothing to bring her back and see my men get the vengeance they deserve. It's just a little hard to win a war when you're not really sure what kind of monster you're up against. Or how many you're up against, for that matter.

War has finally come to the Mists. The Murk have invaded, and if they have their way, the men I love and all the other fae in the place I now call home will fall before their twisted magic. I may be only human, but I won't let my lovers fight alone. I've proven again and again that I'm more than a cure for their curse. I'm not a tool but a wild card our enemies still don't fully understand. But, our only chance at victory may come at a cost too high for me to bear.

Just when it seemed I'd overcome the biggest obstacles my fae mates and I could face, I find myself in the hands of their greatest enemies. Enemies who have more power than we ever imagined. I have to escape, and not just to warn the men I love and defend the home I've made with them. The longer I remain, the more these villains can use me to destroy everything I care about. If I fail now, the entire faerie world will crumble. I don't know if I can do it alone — but where will I find an ally among the cruelest of the fae?
