Kethendar’s attempts to bend this strange new world to his whims haven’t gone according to plan. The invorash soul abandoned him, and there are signs his brother might be hunting him with intent to kill.

But fortunes can shift on a dime.

When Onyx’s brother comes to town with his new wife, Kethendar recognizes an old follower’s devotion. And as he rekindles one old flame, another seeks him as if answering a siren’s call.

But it doesn’t take long to shatter this tentative new paradise.

Onyx has mixed feelings about his brother’s wife worshiping the god of lust while hiding her activities from her husband. And Eldantas seems more obsessed with his own master plan than Kethendar’s.

In the midst of this volatile situation, Kethendar receives a summons from his brother – a message he dares not ignore.

Something happened while Kethendar was asleep. Something he never could have anticipated and has a difficult time accepting. But it grows increasingly clear that he must find answers – and quickly – if he hopes to maintain a foothold in this new world.
