Who will rise? Who will die? A madman hunts fae, a life falters beneath the glass. With relations between Faerie and the human realm growing more tense each day, loyalties must be drawn, alliances made. Nikala's world crumbled when Cian disappeared through the doorway back to Faerie. As she struggles to hold the reigns of her father's business, and of her heart, she begins to lose hope of ever seeing the mysterious fae again. When she unwittingly uncovers the truth of her mentor's plans-that he controls not only her mind, but has programmed her to be a ruthless killer of his enemies, including Cian and his sister Rori, she must fight Hunter's control to save those she loves. Can she conquer her murderous impulses? Or will his experiments leave her defenseless against his whims? Cian and Rori now know who kidnapped the fae, but they don't know why. It's not just the faeries' lives that are at stake-creatures known and foreign are also victims of Hunter's devious schemes. With their future uncertain, Rori and Therron must work quickly to find the shadow man who controls the destinies of those not just on Cilachaem, but also Earth. But shadows aren't meant for the light and Hunter doesn't want to be found. What he needs, however, is Cian dead and Rori's blood. As Cian, Nikala, Rori and Therron race to find answers, dark secrets emerge about pasts that were best left forgotten. Their destinies are forever entwined. Their lives hang in the balance. Their legacies will either save or destroy both worlds.
