Aedan is back and there's going to be trouble. Nothing is left of Aedan's House and now he knows it. Baltimore's supernatural community is in chaos after his abduction, torture, and return. He may be rescued, but he is a long way from home. Lara must find a way to help Aedan regain control before he slips into darkness and loses everything he worked so hard to gain. As Aedan cleans House one Master vampire at a time, Lara lays a trap only she can, using the tool she knows best, herself, to lure him into a dangerous seduction that will pull every trigger he has and can lead to only one outcome, control or death. But it's not just Aedan she has to deal with, her best friend is changing in ways no one understands, her parent's deaths are looking more and more unlikely, and The Mad Queen is on a rampage, causing blood to run through the streets of Talamh na Sithe and forcing her People to seek out the one person that might protect them all, Lara. With a Fae War on the horizon, she must choose between safety or freedom, family or home.
