“Two apologies in one day." Cybele kept her tone light. "What’s next? The end of the world?”
Arthur glanced at her. “I’m a mess.”
“You’ll pull out of it.” She sat down beside him.
He lowered his hands to the table. “I sure as hell hope so. How much more of this can I take? My brain is chaos. There’s nothing in there to hold on to.”
She covered his hands with her own. “Hold onto me, then.”
SUMMARY
Arthur Camulus is the heir of Merlin Ambrosius, the most powerful Nephil ever to walk the Earth. Merlin’s vision—a world in which Nephilim and humans live in peace—is a radical notion, one Arthur has risked his life to fulfill.
But the Nephil magic Arthur has inherited from his ancestor is too strong. It’s driving him insane and threatening to upset the balance of good and evil on Earth. Demons and Archangels alike seek his destruction.
Cybele Herne is Arthur's one link to sanity. Seven years ago, when Mab, the Druid clan's brutal alpha, brought Arthur to Texas from England, Cybele knew he was different. Now Arthur is Cybele's best friend and lover. Together, they've hatched an audacious plan to free their clan from the influence of its vicious leader.
If Arthur can’t tame his power, Mab will take control of his magic, and Cybele will become the property of Mab's henchman. With time running short, Arthur and Cybele search for a way out of the maze of treachery—only to discover another, unknown enemy stalking them in the shadows.
Giving up isn't an option, no matter how difficult the path. Then, on one fateful night, a beacon of hope appears. But when Arthur reaches for it, the forces of Heaven and Hell collide.
And everything falls apart.
