Some days feel like years, but in Ember Brycin's case just the opposite is true. Em would be 22 now-if she were human. She's not. She is a Dae-part Demon and part Fay-with a little Dark Dweller thrown in to make her more of a freak. Life has become complicated for Ember since returning from the Otherworld. She is continuously being hunted by Seelie Queen. She is also at the top of the Unseelie King's list after breaking her oath with him. And no one breaks a vow with the Unseelie King without extreme consequences. Adding to Ember's problems is a certain Dark Dweller whose mood has become violent and unstable. As much she'd like to deny it, there is an overwhelming connection them. Eli is sexy, gorgeous, and frustrating as hell. But she also knows he is holding something back, something that could change their relationship forever. But her problems go way past him. As the tension for war mounts between the Seelie and Unseelie (Light and Dark), the tension at the Dark Dweller's compound escalates even more as they prepare to obtain the Sword of Light-the only weapon able to kill the Queen. Is Ember the answer to the location of the sword? Is she the one to fulfill the prophecy? As usual nothing is what it seems.
