Uriah thought his battle would be over once he saved Claire’s life, but his search to save their love and uncover the truth of his destiny is nowhere near finished. After losing Claire to the Twin Soul bond, Uriah intends to seek out the Matwau and let the monster have exactly what he wants…Uriah’s death. Only the words of the shaman, who has already betrayed him more than once, stops him. Her promise that there is still a chance of saving Claire from the bond and keeping her love for Uriah whole sends him on a new hunt to find a shaxoa witch who is rumored to have more power and knowledge than anyone has seen in centuries. No matter the price, Uriah promises to find the Shaxoa and rescue Claire from a fate she doesn’t want. Claire promises to hold off the cruel desires of the Twin Soul bond until he returns. Keeping their promises may require more of them than they ever could have imagined. As Uriah searches for a way to break the bond and Claire’s desperation to resist the bond intensifies, both learn truths about themselves that will change everything.

Uriah and Claire know their fight to be with each other is far from over, but the final battle they must face is one they never expected. Claire never thought she would be the one saving anybody’s life. She never thought she would find out she had a secret destiny, either. Finding Uriah is Claire’s top priority because without her he will never be able to defeat the Matwau, but she needs help from the one person she trusts least. Quaile. The shaman reluctantly hands over the book Claire needs. Claire takes the book desperately hoping it will hold the answers she needs to save Uriah’s life. The book does hold answers, but not to everything. The answers Claire and Uriah need most cannot be gained from any book. They must come from lost memories, acceptance of destiny, and looking outside of reality. When the answers are finally found they will threaten to break them both. The prices asked of them may finally be too high. If they are, their deaths will only be the beginning.
