Irene must journey to the realm of the faeries to save her sister, but eluding Elliot's guard will prove difficult. And her legion is set to arrive within days.The land of Skye Sorn is what inspired Irene's favorite childhood tales; the myths of creatures unknown, the powers they possess. But magic is sometimes just as frightening as it is wonderous. Struggling with both her heart and her mind, Irene finds that the help of a wise enchantress is invaluable. And not only to her present journey but to the fate she cannot escape.As she strives to find peace in her ever-changing world, Irene learns of a ritual meant to end the darkness that has clung to her being.

And as she does, those who have been bound to it, beings from centuries of time, will also find their freedom.Could the ritual, meant to steal the force that lingers within Irene, be too violent for her to survive? Or might the stone, and all its timeless magic, fall into the hands of a man seeking absolute reign?
