Thalia Quinn lives an average and unsatisfied life. She works overnights for an alarm company, being passed over for promotions and opportunities. Her boyfriend of ten years had broken up with her, and the estranged father Thalia hadn't spoken with in years passed abruptly leaving Thalia the small cottage on the lake he used to take Thalia and her mother to before they divorced. No real prospects or ring in sight, Thalia feels unfulfilled and unsatisfied as she pushes thirty. That changes one night when a man falls from the sky into the lake behind her new cottage, changing everything for Thalia. Through this man, Aurelius Basek, if Thalia is willing she may just find her belief in magic, adventure and love reignited, if Aurelius can be believed to be who he says that is.

On her eighteenth birthday, Auden Yusinne makes a single choice to run from the safety of the walls she'd known into the forests of beasts and rumored nightmares. Against all odds, it's not death that Auden finds in those woods but rather a connection to the family she'd lost, and the calling they'd left behind for her to fulfill. She's drawn into an ancient blood-soaked feud, and split between worlds of beasts, magic and her own humanity. In a time where dark unrest is on the rise, Auden Yusinne must draw upon strength she'd never thought herself capable of, not only for the reaching shadows of conflict that threaten to consume the forest and surrounding walls but also to follow the call of her heart torn between two men.
