Whoever said revenge gets you nowhere has clearly never experienced the joy of having all your enemies defeated. Nemain is soaking in the freedom that comes with no longer being hunted. However, her reprieve comes to an end when a friend asks for a favor that she can't refuse. Not when it could lead to answers that Nemain wants and alliances she desperately needs.

A child with extraordinary magic is being stalked by a group of ruthless fae. No one knows who the fae are or why they're after the child, but one thing was clear, their magic consumed other magic. They were devourers-or at least part devourer. While most didn't believe that was possible, Nemain certainly did. She had been hiding her own devourer heritage for her entire life.

In their search for the child, Nemain and her friends unearth other secrets. Old secrets, new secrets. Ancient secrets long forgotten. Secrets from both friend and foe. And Nemain is in the center of it all. Can she save herself and this mysterious fae child? And how much is she willing to sacrifice?

Revenge always has a cost. Mine was a secret.

Everyone knows about the devourers. The wicked monsters that threatened to destroy all the realms until the fae and daemons locked them away. Slight problem. I have devourer magic.

It's only a matter of time before the fae or daemons learn about my abilities. Best case, they bind me to them in service. Worst case... a very excruciating death. I'd prefer neither, which means I need to make some powerful alliances fast.

Enter my best friend, who happens to be a high-ranking daemon, with an offer. Go to the fae realms. Find the mysterious kid who is running around with strange, powerful magic. And bring him back safely.

Simple enough. Except he's being hunted by ruthless assassins. And they have magic like mine. I might finally get the answers I've wanted my whole life. But what-or who-am I willing to sacrifice for it?
