Hold On Tight To Me

Malek is bored--He seeks Violet Sorrengail's favor and is tired of waiting.
Dain Aetos is ready to die--He will die protecting Sloane if he has any say in his death.
Sloane Mairi is not going to die--She is determined to get herself and Dain out of this battle alive.
Liam Mairi misses his sister--He watches from the other side of Malek and is surprised when their reunion comes sooner than expected.

In a vital battle, Malek meddles. With the snap of his fingers, he pulls Dain, Sloane, Cath, and Thoirt into his realm alive and well. Their hearts still beat and they radiate the light of the living. The dead, however, are not as merciful as one thinks. They will do anything to make their stay permanent.

As Sloane and Dain navigate Malek's realm, they realize that the answer to saving Xaden and his new brother might be right in front of them. The end of the war may be closer than they think. Their happy ever ending is within reach.

Violet Sorrengail's path to Malek will be vital. Sloane Mairi and Dain Aetos will confront the ghosts of their pasts. And Liam Mairi will give Dain Aetos the older brother talk.
