But when Emma realizes her father isn't alone and that the Unseelie Fae, Black Annis, is by his side, she realizes things are about to go from bad to worse. Meanwhile, Rowan is stuck at Kinloch Kirk where Nyx is busily trying to open a portal to Faery so Mathilda can be saved from certain death. Making the process even more difficult is the fact that everyone at Kinloch Kirk is under attack by the Vryloka. But, what Rowan isn't betting on is the arrival of the two people she never thought she'd see together again. Bryn and Sinjin return to Kinloch Kirk to find it under attack by the Vryloka. It's an all-out war between the creatures of the sky and Laucian, Nyx, O'Rourke, and the others-each seeking to keep Rowan safe. And when Sinjin finds himself reunited with his daughter, it will be the most touching of moments. With Morse by her side, Jolie decides to face the truth in what's become of Rand. After being told countless horror stories from Bryn, Jolie decides the time has come to find out what's true and what's an exaggeration.
