Love, loss, and desperation collide in a world where every choice carries the weight of destiny, and every action could tip the balance between salvation or annihilation.



Cailleach has been maiden and mother, but as Samhain dawns, she must face the cruel consequences of the prophecy and now embrace the crone. With her world teetering on the brink of destruction, and burdened by the loss of her daughter, she is forced to navigate the treacherous landscape of war. But coming face-to-face with the man who killed her lover places everything at risk. She must hold onto her strength lest she lose herself and become the monster she seeks to destroy.



In the present, hope is a fragile flame in the wind as Samhain draws ever closer. With one enemy put to rest, Brydie now turns to facing her final altercation with the Dark One and ensuring the futures of those she loves. But as she navigates a complex web of alliances and enmities, each stolen moment with her Guardian is cherished, even as it is overshadowed by a secret that threatens to ruin all.
