Life has been quiet for Aran since moving to Banter. She is a prosperous business owner, has friends, and helps those in need without question. Yet a delivery of a mysterious, jewel-encrusted box changes all of that in an instant. Not only does the mysterious box prove someone knows her deepest secret, it imprisons a man unlike any other. A warrior from a place she's never heard of, a land she's never known. It doesn't take long to discover she is the only one with the knowledge to set him free, with a magic he cannot trust. Rordan must somehow return to Eglandor to stop the wicked sorceress who imprisoned him, deliver the throne to King Tah-lel's appointed heir, and fulfill his destiny with the woman from another time, another world. And there's only so much time to do it with the King's health failing and an uprising from within waiting for the moment to claim the throne.

Seeking redemption from his inner demons, peace comes from the least likely of sources. After existing for three hundred years, Joaquin Ramirez has fought the last nightly battle for his sanity. Rather than relinquish his tenuous hold on humanity, to not become the soulless monster that lives within him, he has decided suicide is a more honorable death. Until an unknown voice whispers from the darkness to literally shout at him-'coward'. Lily Jaspers is an enigma to Joaquin. A woman who has been abused, her internal pain shrouds her telepathic words. Yet she is living with, protected by, the very creatures Joaquin has no trust in-the Brethren. Maniacal and cruel, the Brethren are the vampire society as it is known, and feared, by humans. They are soulless beings who were once men of honor, like Joaquin. The one he faces who protects Lily is, in fact, the most adept and strongest he's ever met. The whole situation intensifies when the home where he found the holder of the enchanting voice is attacked by a human force that leaves no doubt none were expected to survive. Fleeing under the cover of night sets a path for both Joaquin and Lily that neither will be able to escape as danger from her past, alongside the secret of his reality, threaten not only them, but the freedom Lily and her friends have fought so hard to achieve. A freedom that can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
