Grief- and guilt-ridden Skylar sometimes wonders if she has the strength to go on living after her life mate''s murder. She functions in the physical world only, denying her supernatural gifts and any subtle realities, existing only to ensure her precious son''s health and happiness and living far, far away from the shattering memories of Dunleavy Castle.

He watches helplessly as Skylar''s denial of the truth of what they are to one another slowly kills her. Her grieving period must come to an end. It''s time for the new King of the Watchers to claim what''s his.
