Nathan Grier returns from the Veil a changed man. The consequences of his time with Malak, the dark sidhe king, and the deal made to free him may be more than he can bear.<br><br>The weakening of the Veil and new enemies foretell of a greater battle still ahead. With Nathan’s brother Jim now an Awakened changeling, and Nathan’s role in Malak’s plans finally revealed, Nathan’s love for fae hunter and incubus Sasha Kelly may not be enough to save him after all.

Sidhe

Solrin was frighteningly powerful, and not only because of how aptly he could command the dark fae nearest him, but how the gesture of his hand, his touch, his stare, was all it took to bring those before him to their knees. Light fae dropped like wilted grass at his feet, and Solrin merely stepped on over them as if they were nothing but a nuisance.


It sickened Nathan. Solrin’s careless cruelty was awful to behold, especially seen through the goggles. Nathan wondered if he had looked like that when Malak possessed him; wondered if Malak possessed Solrin now or merely pulled his strings; but through the goggles Nathan saw a great shadow of a demon overlaid with Solrin’s normal form, too reminiscent of the shade he had seen in Malak himself the day Nathan first met Dave.


It spurred Nathan on faster, desperate to reach the white-haired young man and see if Sasha’s plan would actually do the trick.
