The city tolerates the presence of a witch only as long as she is useful. Aisling looks at the fire licking her feet and wants a quick death. But when the Unseelie Prince appears in the smoke, she does what any self-respecting witch would do. She curses him.

Bran should not have gone to the human world, and he is shocked when the witch binds them. His life is hers, and he doesn't want to die. He saves her from the fire, bewitches the city and takes her to a refuge. For what? She has to break the curse.

But they're out of luck, she can't. The Witch and the Unseelie must travel through the Otherworld to sever the connection between them. Secrets and lies stand between them, but they will stop at nothing to save themselves.
