Devastated to hear she’s been abducted, and even though he’s never met her, he doesn’t hesitate to go rescue his Ciara. Kayog is never wrong. But once he tracks down the kidnappers and connects with his mate, Amreth realizes that nothing is ever as it seems. As tragic events unfold, will Amreth and Ciara’s efforts help save an entire species from extinction, or will they also fall to the evil external forces threatening them?
