Artifice - Book Six of the Alpha Series - MxM
A witch trial unfolds, driven by unreliable witnesses and mounting suspicion. It seems all hope is lost for Verando, already condemned by the relentless court. Nicolas knows time is slipping away, and if he doesn't act quickly, the person who might hold the key to the truth could be lost forever. He must move swiftly to save Verando and uncover the real story behind Helen-a mysterious woman who has appeared with answers he's not ready to hear.
Helen claims she's from the future and holds a ring that Nicolas recognizes all too well: his own. Desperate and pressed by time, she pleads for his help, insisting she's here to change the course of history. But how could someone travel through time? It sounds like myth, an impossible legend. Yet, the ring is undeniable proof that her words may be truth.
The pressing question remains: What does she want? Why has she come now? And what role does she play in the fate of Verando-and in Nicolas' own future? She's an enigma he can't afford to ignore, but everything about her presence feels like a trap.
As the court's verdict draws near and the witch trial reaches its climax, everything Nicolas and his allies have fought to protect hangs in the balance. Helen's persistence suggests she might hold the key to something far greater than saving one person-perhaps the means to prevent disaster altogether. But with the seconds ticking away, Nicolas must decide whether trusting her will be their salvation or their downfall.
