Synopsis
Cat Barahal and her beloved cousin Bee think they have a safe place to shelter, but the Cold Mages who conspire to take them prisoner are closing in. The warlord Camjiata believes it's their destiny to help him conquer Europa, whether they want to or not. And the man Cat was forced to marry is back, arrogant as ever. Worst of all, as Hallow's Night approaches, powers hidden deep within the spirit world are rising. Cat needs to figure out who to trust, before she loses everything. Only one thing is certain. When Hallow's Night comes the Wild Hunt will ride - and it feeds on mortal blood.
