The shadows have eyes.
Returning to Luma after being promised their records would be wiped clean had been a no-brainer for Harlow and company. Especially when the only requirement for hub society reintegration was to meet with Sorceress Rhiannon at the Collectiveâs Tower to share intel about vampires, ferals, and Lachlan Shadeâs potential master plan. Yet within minutes of crossing the veil, Rhiannon postpones their appointment due to a brewing faction war among the sorcerers. This welcome reprieve is dampened by a pack of werecats barricading Harlow, Caspian, Camila, and the sword in Caspianâs house until the foursome is given the all-clear to visit the Tower.
Worried their side wonât win the warâthereby landing Harlow and Caspian back on Lumaâs Most Wanted listâthe pair is determined to prove theyâre worth more to the Collective outside a jail cell. They believe the key to the worrying surge in portal activity and a window into Lachlanâs schemes both lie somewhere near Lake Nacimientoâthe same lake connected to the swordâs dormant twin.
Their impending escape only grows more complicated when Zander Welsh drops the bomb that his days-old bite from a hybrid is infected. Rumors are already swirling that hybrid vampire bites have begun turning faeâa feat previously thought impossible. In the rare instances that a fae survives the transition, their magic mutates into something unholy. Harlow and Caspian must find a cure for Welshâs blood-poison before it kills himâor, perhaps worse, turns him into a monster unable to discern friend from foe.
