New Orleans is on the brink of war. Harlow is a ghost in her own body. She has no control, no power - all she can do is watch as her twin sister, Ava Mae, lives recklessly and foolishly, slowly destroying everything Harlow has worked so hard for. Augustine needs to focus on his new role as Guardian of New Orleans, as tourists mysteriously disappear off the streets, but all he can think of is rescuing Harlow - keeping his family safe. As the Coven grows more powerful, control of the city hangs in the balance, and if the witches prevail, no fae will survive.

Ventitré anni, mezza Fae e mezza umana, Bryce Quinlan ha una vita perfetta: di giorno lavora in una galleria d'arte e di notte passa da una festa all'altra, senza problemi e senza preoccupazioni. Quando però una brutale strage scuote profondamente Crescent City, la città in cui vive, e Bryce perde una persona a lei molto cara, il suo mondo crolla in mille pezzi lasciandola disperata, ferita e molto sola. Adesso non cerca più il divertimento, ma un oblio in grado di farle dimenticare i terribili fatti che hanno cambiato la sua vita per sempre.

Bryce Quinlan non si sarebbe mai aspettata di vedere un mondo diverso da Midgard ma, ora che è successo, l'unica cosa che vuole è tornare indietro. Tutto ciò che ama è lì: la sua famiglia, i suoi amici, il suo compagno. Bloccata in un luogo spaventoso e a lei sconosciuto, avrà bisogno di tutto il suo ingegno per riuscire a tornare a casa. E non è un'impresa facile dal momento che Bryce non ha la più pallida idea di chi potersi fidare.

Bryce Quinlan e Hunt Athalar hanno stretto un patto e stanno lentamente cercando di tornare alla normalità. Hanno sì salvato Crescent City, ma le loro vite sono così stravolte che l'unica cosa che vogliono è del tempo per rilassarsi. Rallentare. Capire cosa riserva il futuro. Gli Asteri finora hanno mantenuto la parola, lasciando Bryce e Hunt in pace. Ma con il tentativo dei ribelli di Ophion, in gran parte umani e Vanir, di intaccarne il potere, la minaccia che i governanti rappresentano sta diventando sempre più concreta.

Byrce Quinlan y Hunt Athalar han hecho un pacto: mantendrán las cosas en un nivel… platónico… hasta el solsticio, mientras procesan todo lo que ocurrió en la primavera pasada. Pero ¿podrán resistir la tensión electrizante que existe entre ellos, cuando ésta es suficiente para incendiar Ciudad Medialuna hasta sus cimientos? Involucrados en un movimiento rebelde del que no quieren formar parte, Bryce, Hunt y sus amigos se ven enfrentados a los temibles asteri, a quienes deberían evitar a toda costa.
