Their paths were Chosen. Nellie Glazer, a rare shapeshifter banned from the human realm, does not know true fear until she finds herself standing in the middle of the clan she was once forced out of. Demands for her death multiply, and Nellie must come to terms with more than one ghost from her past, each of which has the power to undo her. The Fates are watching. Faria Agostonna, Queen of Anestra, has been forced to abandon one realm in favor of another to find her stolen child. But as she is thrown into the human realm without access to her magic, she soon discovers the danger she left behind is nothing in comparison to what awaits her. Now, Faria must press through the fog of her grief and choose her course wisely, for each path set before her will drastically change the fate of the people she left behind. Destiny is calling. Hunter d'Valero, Val Prince and Protector of the Agostonna Royal Bloodline, narrowly survives a deadly attack before he discovers he is bound to Anestra, unable to save those he loves most. As control over his inner darkness slips, he must fight to master it before the fatal consequences are more than Anestra can handle. The stakes are higher. The odds are impossible. Will they survive, or are they fated to burn?
