Ryan and Sage are finally accepted as adults in the shifter world. Sort of. Ryan, the strongest male alpha shifter in over three thousand years, would feel confident in his position as third in the Alpha Clan... if everyone stopped comparing him to the uncle who died so long ago. To pay a debt, and protect a human scientist, Ryan accepts a quest from a dragon supreme matriarch. The caveat: no help from any fae. The fae, including half breeds like Tempest, are drawn to wield the power of the sword he seeks. Can Ryan negotiate the politics of the Farseen alone? Embracing her destiny, Sage faces internal shifter issues and growing tension between humans and all preternaturals. Is there a way to peacefully lead the shifters, or must she kill to be respected?
