Summary
Kai finally has a home in Tennga. With Marta at her side, they've rebuilt their delivery service, ADL, now staffed entirely by Fae. Business is thriving, but even as she settles into this new life, the past refuses to stay buried.
When the Seelie Queen summons Kai through her messenger, Lord Briscelous. She and Lady Allara travel to court-only to be attacked by a creature unlike anything they've seen before. The queen aids them, revealing the creature's origins in East Africa. But before they can unravel the mystery, another attack follows them home to Tennga.
Determined to uncover the truth, Kai and her friends embark on a journey to East Africa, chasing whispers of a forgotten past. Her adoption, once a footnote in her life, becomes the key to a legacy she never asked for. She learns of a father, neither human nor Fae, but something else entirely -of an ancient people who forbade love between their kind and any other race, Fae included and of a choice made to flee rather than submit to their rule. Kai will have make a choice as well and deal with so much more.
Faced with a family who sees her as theirs by right of blood and the family she's built through loyalty and love, Kai must decide where she belongs. Will she choose her friends and the family she has built for herself. Will the blossoming love between her and a certain sorceress be strong enough to weather this storm? Will she succumb to the very fate her father once escaped? And can Allara break through the walls of a heart hardened by lies and lost to black magic?
Blood may be thicker than water, but which will withstand the trials of fate, the weight of destiny and the test of time?
