Mia was taken deep into the living heart of the island before the covenant could be completed — leaving the ancient magic unstable, the Council shaken, and Jude desperate to reach her.

As Mia and Jude fight to stay connected despite the island’s growing influence, desire and danger intertwine. Their connection feeds something powerful beneath the stone — and not everyone is pleased by it. Donors begin to disappear. Blood supplies grow uncertain. Political tensions fracture the Council.
