A century ago, fae and mortal worlds collided and brought about a terrifying question; what if there are more worlds waiting to be found? When a mighty High Fae seeks to cause another collision with a dark plane, fae and mortals battle together to stop the destruction of their realms. A draft begins and William Vandervult, at the young age of sixteen, goes to war. Now a combat medic hiding a plethora of wicked secrets, William has learned to survive in a grim wild of maggots, bloodshed, torture, and death. Nicholas Darkmoon, a fae with an affinity for fearsome magic, does not find this war rattled reality so grim, but an adventure to celebrate. He is as keen to end the war on behalf of his controlling father as he is to enjoy it. So, when the arrogant Nicholas causes trouble, William doesn't hesitate to call him out. Garnering the attention of fae never bodes well and Nicholas is not one to turn a blind eye towards those he dislikes. However, through threats of disembowelment and survival on the run, Nicholas' anger towards William shifts from deadly to voracious and obsessive. And William learns that tasting a little forbidden fruit in the twilight hours eases the slow decay of war from his rattled mind. The lustful hunger these men have for each other may keep them warm at night, but in the cold trenches of war, affection blossoms, evil stirs, and a shadow looms ever closer.
