And though both Taliyah and Cephias fought valiantly against him, Irving still gravely wounded Cephias's wing, which left them stranded far from home. Irving is still out there and time may be running out for Cephias's clan. With Cephias unable to fly, it is now up to Taliyah to lead him through the complexities of human society. And despite their clear path forward, trials keep pulling them off course. Taliyah hopes a knight from her past can help tip the scales, but is it worth the fierce jealousy it ignites in Cephias? Can she prove her devotion to him? Or will the pressure fracture the fragile love she so recently found?
