Entwined by fate, torn by war, Craig and Seth confront their passion and a hidden enemy threatening their world's survival. Annaseth 'Seth' Holmes hates Craig Shaw's guts as much as her full first name. As the Cynn Mortal Corps leader, she has to work with him closely and it takes a lot of willpower not to punch the smirk off his face. Even if it heats her blood and reminds her of the one stolen kiss they shared that sparked her desire.

Craig Shaw, Colin Butler's second in command, has taken over as interim Dux of the Leeds Faesten to give Colin time to grieve. Seth Holmes is a constant thorn in his side yet he can't stop thinking about the kiss they shared that pierced through the walls he had built around his heart.

When Scatha mortals assault Cynn Cruors' establishments and the Faesten, Craig realises that Seth means more to him than his life. Until someone from Seth's past puts a wedge between them, destroying the fledgling happiness they've found in each other arms.

Cast away from everything she knows, Seth finds herself in Penzance, seeking solace in the anonymity to put the pieces of her life back together. But her past is hell bent on claiming her and isn't far behind.

Craig isn't one to give up on his destined mate but can he reach her in time?

Or is Seth lost to him forever?
