The past can do more than haunt… Now that Thorn is under royal fae protection, Caleb has made it his duty to keep her death raker powers from thrusting her to the dark side—whether she wants him to or not. But the more time they spend together, the hotter the fire grows between them. And neither one of them is prepared for the inevitable explosion. When their search for the relics leads them to the grand witch’s most sinister secret, Thorn is forced to do the one thing she swore she never would. Return to Illyria. Even if she manages to dodge her coven’s lethal claws, the damage is already done, and no one, least of all the fae prince, will escape the consequences of Ellexia’s nefarious plan. As the partners collide with things long thought dead and buried, Thorn must untangle a web of deceit before she dooms herself and all of Nightworld to a fate worse than death.
