Sa loob ng limang taon, buong pusong ipinaglaban ni Caelith Skyhart ang pagmamahal niya kay Lucienn Ashford. Siya ang lalaking itinayo niya mula sa pagkakadapa, minahal sa kabila ng lahat, at pinakasalan sa harap ng buong lungsod. Ngunit isang umagang tahimik, isang mensahe ang gumising sa katotohanang hindi niya kailanman inasahan—buntis ang kapatid niyang si Celene, at ang ama ay si Lucienn. Sa gitna ng pagkawasak, pagtataksil at sakit, kailangan ni Caelith na tumindig. Hindi para ipaglaban ang pagmamahal kundi para bawiin ang sarili at ang lahat ng itinayo nilang dalawa. Ito ay kwento ng isang babaeng minsang naging liwanag sa dilim ngunit ngayo’y naging apoy na handang lamunin ang lahat ng sumira sa kanya. Hanggang saan ka magmamahal kung ang taong pinili mo ay pinili ang iba?

There was only one week left until my marking ceremony with Alpha Mason Wright. And this time, he was asking to postpone it yet again, all because his puphood sweetheart, Eira Padmore, the she-wolf who once saved his life, had another episode. She was in tears, begging to go to Bhador to see the snow, just like every time before, claiming she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. The ceremony had already been pushed back three times. All the wolves of the north had been waiting for us to complete it. But I was done waiting, and so was the pup growing inside me. If Mason refused to mark me, then I'd walk away and build my own future. But what I couldn't understand was... Why was it that the moment I left, Mason went mad searching for me, and suddenly insisted on marking me after all?

"It's over between us, honey." I said to Clyde, flinging the divorce papers at him. You don't want to be the bad guy, am I right? Well now, you don't have to worry about who the bad guy is." He watched the papers flutter to the floor, dumfounded. They assumed she was still in a coma and so wouldn't see them. Even if she wasn't, this wouldn't be the first time her dear husband would kiss another woman in her presence. She saw nothing. But the slurps and moans woke her from the state of coma. The raptures and gasps had kept her from resting, and their shivers of pleasure caused a tear to drop from her eye. She collapsed making lunch for him. But here he was, making out with a woman she considered to be her best friend. All she could think of was revenge, and she knew who was perfect for the job. Not only was she going to get back at him, she was going to show her true identity now. She comes out of the hospital with his twins inside of her and left him alone with the realization that his life was about to change forever. Whisked away to a different world, Everleigh finds love in the arms of Clyde's arch nemesis. Love, hate, betrayal, resentment, envy and secret babies. It all started with one good kiss on the wrong lips, and a lot of lies to the wrong ears.
