After all, a witch there knows the Keeper of Souls, and Nai wants her friend back.But the trip to the Realm of the Dead doesn't go quite as planned. Nai discovers a family member has been keeping secrets-BIG secrets. Scratch that. Make that TWO family members-and LOTS of secrets.When Nai's negotiation skills land her and Rage in a contract that is near impossible to meet, the consequences of success and failure are equally dire.Ah, hello, trouble!She's determined to bring her friend back from the dead and still keep her mate, or die trying.One thing's for certain, nothing on Shifter Island will ever be the same.
