The war between Demons and Shifters is heating up, with all of humankind caught in the balance. Gaea might have sent their moon-touched Shifters to defend the world, but humans have their own defence: the Witchblooded. Laertes Tybalt Lark is a rising star among his Coven, having successfully bound his first Demon at the fresh age of fifteen. Is his power truly so great, or is his Demon strangely compliant? Will Laertes remain loyal to the ways of the Witchblooded, or will he join one of the Shifter's Clans to fight the Demon menace on their terms? The moon in waning, the world growing darker, and magic is not all that it seems. These tenuous alliances may be all that beats back the darkness.
