Sold out, deserted, wanted by the clave, two Parabatai travel the world in search of a cure for a timeless disease; love.
When Alyssa Timeglass finds herself helplessly drawn to mundane Felix Hunter, she must ask herself; is it love, or simply infatuation? Whatever the answer, it has already gotten her into a lot of trouble. Troubles that she and Stamatina Crystalsword, her parabatai, have set out together to set right.
Even with warning after warning from the people around her, Alyssa cannot help it; everything she says, does or thinks leads her back to Felix.
But there is more to Felix than meets the eye. Is he really worth the trouble that he stirs?
