Niamh Farren has carried the burden of knowledge almost all her life. One of seven fairies born into the human world with the ability to open the gates to the fairy world, Niamh guides other fairies on the right path. Because Niamh saw what would happen to the human world if she did not protect the gate. She traveled the world for years with her brother Ronan, using visions to seek out the faeries and convince them to take a path where they would not open the gates. She sacrificed a lot, but... when she lost her brother on a mission, she began to lose herself. For almost one hundred and fifty years, the werewolf Kiyo wandered the planet like a lost soul. Cursed to live forever, he spent a terrible eternity as a mercenary. When Fionn Mor reveals the truth about the faerie world and hires Kiyo to protect one of the faeries, he accepts the challenge out of boredom, not heroism. But Niamh turned out to be not what the werewolf expected. Protecting Niamh from enemies is not as difficult as protecting a fairy from herself. If Kiyo wants to succeed, he needs to help Niamh find himself, and not just for her sake. He can no longer ignore the strong connection between them. A new enemy is on the horizon, threatening to open the gates between worlds. To remind Niamh who she is, Kiyo must find the strength to open up to her, to surrender to the connection. Or continue to protect your heart... thereby leading the world of people to war.
