Creatures of evil roam the shadows - the Drakhyn. They may look like humans, but their taloned hands and razor-sharp teeth serve one purpose only; killing. A Sentinel's purpose is to patrol and protect. They are highly trained soldiers with superior skills and abilities. Whether they be Vampyres, Lycan, Castors or gifted Akrhyn, their purpose is the same; hunt the Drakhyn and rid the world of their evil presence. Tegan has been training all of her life in seclusion to be an Elite Sentinel. Having now passed her final Trial, she is selected by the Great Council to become a member of the Elite Guard. Tegan is the youngest Sentinel to be granted such an honour and she accepts, nervous and anxious to finally be with her family. A family who never even knew she existed… until now. Soon, fitting in with her family are the least of her worries. The Drakhyn are rising, even as unrest between the Akrhyn grows. What's more, Tegan finds herself bonded to the most arrogant Castor she has ever met. War is coming. Tegan needs to be ready. She must fight to keep her world - and her place in it - free from the destruction that threatens it.

Tegan Novikov Holt is missing. Bonded to an Akrhyn who has too many secrets, she needs to know what they are, no matter the danger to herself. The accusations that Cord is working with the Drakhyn are preposterous, but Tegan knows the Castor is keeping things from her...from them all. After the bold Drakhyn attack at the Akrhyn ball, Cord’s life and death decision that night bears heavily on his soul. It is guilt no one but his mate knows he carries. Tegan’s father, Leonid, has been taken. Her sister hates her. Her uncle wishes to use her for gain with the Great Council. The Great Council want her watched, shadowed, and reported on. There are too many factions vying for control for a power that is not theirs to gain. Through it all, the Drakhyn watch, they wait, they grow in numbers, and they prepare. War is getting closer. Time is running out. Akrhyn must learn to fight as one if they are to win against the agents of the Darkness. For those lost in the darkness, even the smallest sliver of light burns brightest. \This is Book 2 in the Akrhyn Series and is not a standalone book, Book 1 must be read in order to enjoy this book.\

As the Darkness threatens, the Drakhyn become bolder in their attacks, no longer content to remain in the shadows. Akrhyn are divided. Factions within the Great Council are becoming ruthless in their endeavours to rid the authority of Lycans and Vampryes. At the Vampyre Court, the Made are isolated and under attack with no promise of aid. A prophecy has been revealed, formed by fate bound at birth. A Castor so powerful, it is feared by some that the Flame will consume him. A Mentor and an Alpha must protect him from danger…and himself. Two Heirs of one House. One a Blade. One a Stone. Their father the Forger who must hone them both for the battle ahead. The weapons of the Storm need to be ready. War is here.
