Book excerpt: Detective Selena Hawke hoped her life could return to normal after appointing a new Unseelie Fae Queen to take her place. However, when two of her closest friends are attacked and left for dead, their toddler son now missing, she must face a new evil when the Black Druids invade Ravenwood. To save her friends and find the missing child, Selena is forced to call for outside help, including a former lover who is intent on getting her back, even if he must use every trick at his disposal to woo her away from Eli and Cleo. Despite not wanting to be the Queen of Air and Darkness, and even after finding a suitable replacement, Selena will learn that it's a title from which she can not easily walk away. Unrest continues to grow within the Faery Courts and begins to directly affect her case. Selena must choose...duty to the Human Realm or that of Faery, or lose them both to the Black Druids and their powerful, sexy, and seductive leader, Xavier.
