Publisher's Synopsis
My fingers curled into his, and he pulled me down onto the hill beside him. Everything about him was designed to be tempting-the way he chewed his lip, the way his eyes read nefarious intent. "I won't take you here," he said, rolling over me and sliding his knee between my legs. "But I'll come close."
With Queen Beau rescued from the moon goddess, Merrin and her guard expect a quiet return home-until a magic-induced headache forces Windley to confront the dark, forgotten past he's tried so desperately to leave behind. A new threat emerges from the depths of Windley's restored memories in the form of an omnipotent being capable of stealing the Nemophile's power. What's more, Rafe's transgressions against the goddess Luna have left him susceptible to attack from all manner of creatures from the other side. He'll need to find a new goddess to pact with-and fast-if he hopes to make it back to the north unscathed. With new enemies coming at them from all sides, Merrin's greatest foe might be closer to home than she realizes, as she seeks out the truth of the Nemophile's Crown and the identity of Exitium, her most prominent echo. With double the action and swoon, get ready for a racy journey through the fantastical south where the line between villain and heroine isn't always so clear.
