Exiled by The Sisters to an island cloaked by magic, Elian faces a lifetime alone, his only companions the tropical breeze and crashing surf. For nearly five years, he has suffered this fate-a punishment brought about by his actions. If meant to teach him a lesson, the forced solitude has done nothing but infuriate him. He would find a way to break the spell, leave this godforsaken island, and rid the world of The Sisters once and for all.

As the lone survivor of a freak plane crash, Faith Tulli spends the following fifteen hours floating on a piece of wreckage while considering her bleak situation. Not only is she suffering from an injury, but she is also dehydrating beneath the blistering sun. As her makeshift lifeboat comes to rest on a sandy shore beneath the curtain of darkness, she can't possibly know the only other inhabitant on the island is a dangerous shifter hell-bent on revenge. Getting in his way may prove to be a fatal mistake.
