Whatever time John has left, he has dedicated it to finding Asha. Without that driving force he would still be sitting next to his corpse, waiting for death to catch up. But his friends will pay a high price for trying to help him. Asha had placed herself under the control of the brothers, but she hadn't understood just how complete that control would be. They have taken her away from everyone and everything she knew, and stolen any last chance she may have had to heal Ellie. As she watches the power plays between narun and human, Asha finds she is a prisoner of her own nature, and in that she is not alone. In protective custody, Tracey's life is no longer her own. Her past relationships are used against her, and carry her and her protectors into the middle of a war between the narun peoples, a war in which humans have become unwitting collaborators. Events will draw them all together in a struggle for their lives, in this compelling conclusion to The Narun.
