The strongest bonds can be broken. After almost being killed by an arsonist, Summer flees Montreal with her mates. Though sad to leave one father's city manor, her other father's rural farm is a welcome haven. With the scent of maple in the air, Summer and her men explore hidden rooms and secret gardens. But as they come closer to learning the truth of her legacy, their enemies conspire. Summer doesn't know what her mother did to make the High Priestess of Montreal despise her, but the woman's hatred is palpable. Though she seems to have delivered them to safety, none of them trust her-at a time when trust is thin on the ground. Summer finally confronts the fact that her mates are keeping secrets from her. As the rift between Troy and Michael deepens, the strain on their triad reaches the breaking point.
