Synopsis

"Evalle Kincaid must turn her back on the Beladors to protect those she loves, and the world, from annihilation. To prevent a genocide, Evalle is forced to embrace her destiny ... but at what cost? As an Alterant who fights everything from trolls to demons, Evalle has lived as an outcast among the Beladors, but can now change all that ... and find answers to her origins as well. Those answers and a traitor hide within the Medb coven, an enemy poised to destroy the mortal world and all that Evalle holds dear. While her best friends Tzader and Quinn want to help, they have their own conflicts and face unthinkable choices as relationships with the women they love twist in unexpected directions. With time ticking down on a decision that will compel allies to become deadly enemies, Evalle turns to Storm and takes a major step that only complicates matters more when the witchdoctor he's been hunting now stalks Evalle."--
