A sinister plot, a future in danger, a family found. Callie Nuri and I have settled into our relationship, but I hope for more. Unfortunately, the idyllic picture I paint in my head is overshadowed when one of Nuri’s brothers visits as a diplomatic liaison. Nuri worries about what Teyvin wants, but I know we can handle anything Teyvin throws our way. Unfortunately for us, his plans are more devious than we accounted for. Nuri Every time I look at Callie, I think I can’t love her more, and every day I’m proven wrong. Our plans for the future are disrupted when my brother comes to visit. It was too much to hope that Teyvin would keep his head down and stay out of trouble, but I’d hoped that he’d confine his troublemaking to annoying Uncle Kiros and alienating other officials. When Teyvin’s true plans come to light, my world crumbles around me.
