Publisher's Synopsis
In the wake of the Elders' betrayal, Cadeyrn is forced to shift into his inner beast, making him flee the Queen's Isle. He becomes entrapped by a vindictive former lover and a scheming succubus. Neysa's search for her missing mate leads her deeper down a path of betrayal and self doubt, taking her to Heilig, the ancestral lands of her mother's kin. In answering the call of Heilig's king, Neysa's life may be forfeit in order to vanquish the lands of phantomes-restless spirits of the dead. The relativity of time itself is stretched when an ancient time piece, forged of both realms, becomes a weapon to separate the fae realm's major players. The clock moves the tapestry of fate from Aoifsing to Heilig, onto the timeless streets of England. Deception embedded deep within the ties which bind Neysa's family will fray their trust in her and her relationship to a powerful goddess. Left with the tenuous trust of a former enemy and the realization that Neysa may have given up her every chance at love, she must battle time itself before everyone they know is purged. Continuing Neysa's journey from Another Beast's Skin, A Braiding of Darkness slips deeper into dark fantasy, exploring themes of higher magic, complex love, and mythology.
