The previous few days have been the darkest of Sally’s lifestyle. After experiencing the joy of selecting her mate, she now suffers the discomfort of losing everything she holds dear. Both Romanian and Serbian packages have been captured, ripping Sally’s soul mate away from her almost as soon as she had discovered him. Her closest friend and the psychological glue that usually holds Sally together, Jacque Pierce, is situated writhing in a restless coma, having been put down by Desdemona’s dark magic. Jennifer Adams, the about Fate and Fury unshakable one, provides exposed to her close friends and her mate that she actually is pregnant, however the Fates possess marked her unborn baby for death. Though she rails against the darkness, deep inside Jen knows that Decebel’s baby must pass away as payment on her behalf own life, and the data is definitely tearing her spirit to pieces. Cypher, King of the Warlocks, offers claimed Jacque’s mother as his mate and decided to help Desdemona open a door that could to push out a horde of demons from beyond the Veil.

Though her world is crashing down around her, Sally holds out hope. The Great Luna is not sitting idly by. She has commanded the Fey council to contact upon the packs-all of these. And though Cypher searches for a way to open up the Veil for Desdemona, he problems to protect Lilly as well as the wolves at exactly the same time. Peri, the ever-courageous Large Fae, and a contingent of the remaining females from the Romanian and Serbian packs, force on through the rough Carpathian Mountains. Though these are destined to the human realm, they continue to search for a method to cross over towards the land from the Fey. Meanwhile, in reluctant compliance to the Great Luna, the Fey council sends representatives towards the much corners of the world, ending up in the pack Alphas. The Fey must convince the Alphas of each pack to lay aside their petty territorial squabbles and battles of dominance. If indeed they refuse, both the humans and the supernatural races will fall at Mona’s ft.

Sally holds to a shred of hope. Though Vasile, Decebel, and their pack mates withstand the torture of the In-Between, living their worst nightmares over and over, Sally retains. Though she knows that it’s just a matter of time before their wolves take over, she holds. Sally knows that if the men die, then so as well will their mates who have performed the Blood Rites, including her best friends Jen and Jacque. However she retains. If the men lose themselves to their wolves and turn feral, so too perform their mates. Still she keeps. Though Vasile, the most powerful Alpha within their background to unite the wolves, is lost beyond the Veil, Sally keeps. Though Decebel, the just additional wolf besides Vaile strong more than enough to unite the packs, suffers beyond the Veil, Sally will keep. No one is usually still left to unite their race and beat Desdemona. Yet Sally still retains. She retains out hope that the fantastic Luna won’t abandon them, cannot depart them. Throughout the centuries, the fantastic Luna has often provided a gypsy healer to the packages, especially in occasions of great need. Now Sally can be that healer. Sally concerns what role she has to play in the defeat of Desdemona, but she’ll play it. Though heaven and hell unite against her, she’ll play it.

For too long the supernatural races have lived in separation, warring amongst themselves, allowing trivial power plays and selfish disputes to keep them from uniting. That separation has produced them weak. Today, being summoned as a collective power to the same property, will they come? Will they come in numbers greater than have been seen in generations? Will they destroy one another and save Mona the trouble, or will they finally unite and fight as one?
