Circe is torn between love and duty. A gifted Aspirant, one of the powerful magic users of the Sisterhood, she knows that Phist adores her. But she has a job to do: to help the other Aspirants come of age. And she has no intention of deserting them. Until an unseen and mysterious threat begins to attack nearby towns. When Phist is asked to investigate, he disappears, leaving Circe reeling. Fate will bring her to another man; one who's suffered his own great losses. Will he help her to find Phist, or attempt to claim her as his own? This is a stand-alone novel with two sexy shifter males, a woman who's rather skilled in the ways of magic (and other things), and shifters galore.
