The coming of darkness is summoned by the vibrancy of light. It is time to bring the cattle in from the pastures. Time to build high fires. Time to remember the departed and time to embrace the coming of winter. Shea Brogan, the Earl of Glenn Haven is expecting his first child. After a long and eventful summer, he and his bride are awaiting the new life that grows daily but where there is light, darkness must follow. In the midst of joy, the shadowy presence of Shea's brother; his wife's late husband is haunting not only the house of Glenn Haven but their young son, Torin. The ghostly arrival of the boy's father is unearthing powerful secrets and painful truths. Torin is seeking the answers to death but when the Black Rod comes to beckon his uncle, Torin will be forced to question them alone. Unable to refuse, Shea must leave his new family and the mysterious spirit of their past to gather with the House of Lords in Dublin. The city brings even more concerns to light, including an invitation to the soirée of an esteemed family of fellow Gift Keepers from England, where discerning his enemies will be harder than he expected. Meanwhile, at his estate, a new member of the Fae is taking reign over the land and in one confrontation with his Countess, shakes all the foundations of their lives. Little Torin is more than everyone believes but everything that makes him special is about to make him equally dangerous and with the coming of Samhain, life-altering decisions must be made, that could forever tear their new family apart. less
