Coexistence is a distant dream to the people of Ethlana. The reluctant truce between the Neyathi and Fanga is falling apart, its destruction aided by Evara, the Goddess of Darkness herself. At the cusp of war, two brothers stand poised against one another, each ready to shape the world to their beliefs. Where one seeks the annihilation of the Neyathi, the other hopes to hold off the cataclysmic wrath of the God of Creation, and finally bring peace to the world. Kira's disgust for the humans of Ethlana runs deep. Fanga Forest is the only haven she and Del have left, until Ally's reappearance in their lives triggers the events that will turn their refuge into chaos. Kira managed to run her off once before, and Ally doesn't expect anything to change, despite Del's determination to make things right between them- with or without Kira's blessing. But while Ally threatens the life Kira holds so dear, the two women must work together as a cunning demon emerges from the shadows, intent on claiming their damaged souls. With the demon comes a deadly enemy torn from Kira's worst memory. She escaped him once, but knows well the extremes her former captor will go to reclaim her as his own.
