Excerpt from back cover: What's it like to be pregnant with a demon? Well, it isn't normal, much like Quartessa's already complicated existence. But no one told her just what a fast endeavor it was going to be when she goes from flat tummy to baby bulge in a matter of a few weeks. Expelled and disowned from her father's land and life, and still recovering her tragic loss, Quartessa tries to pick herself up and regain some control in her life despite the fact that it never really seems possible for her. As much as Quartessa wishes that her life was in her control, fate has a funny way of popping back up to screw with her in ways that piss her off, change her life forever, or merely just to remind her that her future isn't up to her in the slightest bit. And when she meets a man who informs her of her child's future, she begins to question if she ever really had a say in anything she has or will do. In Kortis, the Zolera territory becomes torn between the truth and their King's denial. Knowing that a mutiny is sure to ensue, Gader seeks his sister's assistance in restoring order within their land. And, despite the fact that her and her father are currently at odds, she agrees to help for the sake of her brother and her kind. But when she learns just who her kind seeks to replace her father, she becomes torn between her family ties and the wellbeing of her former home. With her demon darkness growing stronger, alongside her fear that it will take her over to kill those she loves before she can ever touch them again, she seeks a way to rid herself of it as well as James. But when his demeanor changes for the better, Quartessa finds herself stuck in one hell of a dilemma. Not everything that lives remains so. And neither can be said for what is dead but refuses to be gone.
