As far as I could tell, none of the Fae inside the house had sifted out, and I was still unable to sift myself. They were far enough away that if I made it to the highway, I might live long enough to get away from them. I didn’t stop running even when I heard the hounds let loose a series of horrible sounding howls. I was the type who yelled at the girls in scary movies who did so. I wasn’t dumb enough to turn around and peek over my shoulder. I sped up, narrowly avoiding the manicured shrubbery on his extensive lawn, dodging trees as I refused to look back. I knew better than to try and be some kind of army of one just so I could figure it out. Ryder had been torturing Guild Warlocks along with some other men that I think were Fae, but I wasn’t sure what they were- they could just as easily have been human.

Instinctively, I knew I wasn’t supposed to see what I had. This time, the choices I have to make can decide the fate of both worlds.I turned away from the window, and ran like my life depended upon it. Now, my rights are being taken from me by powerful people and leaving me with alternatives that range between bad and awful.

I had always thought that I controlled my destiny. The dance he and I have begun, is getting more complicated as our worlds are being shaken from all sides, and the visions of the future are frightening, and nothing like I had ever pictured for myself or those I care for.


With each touch and word, he pulls my heart closer to himself and at the same time he is trying to keep me at arm’s length. Ryder’s secrets are dangerous and devastating. The people I thought I could trust have betrayed me and the one person I should absolutely not trust is taking me deeper and deeper into his world. More Fae are dying, and I feel as if time is running out for us to find all of those responsible and put an end to the killings. I thought things were bad and weird before – hold on – it’s getting worse.Īdam and I are both going through identity crises of epic proportions as we Transition from who we were, and discover who we were meant to be.
