The darkness is closing in and war is nearly upon them. Since the beginning of their creation shifters have been separated from the fae. Bitterness and distrust rampant on both sides. Now, in an effort to defeat an evil that threatens both their realms, they are being forced to work side by side. Wolf shifter, King Bastien Trahern's sister is missing and his parents have been murdered. He wants answers. The last thing he expects is to need help from the fae to get them. Arabella Wynn recently finished training to be a member of the fae king's guard. Her dream is to help in the coming war. To her surprise, the fae king thinks she will best do that by working with a shifter. Now their lives depend on their ability to work together.
