Amya's grandfather always told her she was meant for great things, but after his death, she's never wanted anything more than to make it through to tomorrow quietly. She seems to manage this for five years before a surprise birthday party thrown by her best friend and roommate throws her into the path of the supernatural. Cassian has a responsibility to his coven and his kind to evaluate the girl and determine if she's a threat. Their world is on the verge of war between vampires and werewolves, and the last thing they need to get in the way is some mortal woman who may or may not be working for the enemy. Enemy or no enemy, the woman is the most infuriating being that he's ever met, challenging him at every turn. Once Mya discovers the secrets Cass is hiding, she quickly finds herself the unwilling guest of him and his coven. As she struggles to plan her escape, she begins to have visions of the distant past. Can she discover the origin of their war? Can she stop it? She's determined to die trying.
