Straddling two worlds extracts a dangerous cost...
Jackson Delaney's unique ability to "pathwalk" nearly got him killed on the battlefield. Haunted by a mysterious beauty who may not even be real, he returns home determined to start over, and to leave all traces of the supernatural behind.
But the magic isn't ready to leave him alone, and there is price for every gift.
With the revelation of a hidden past, and the inheritance of a talisman so powerful that his enemies are willing to kill to get it back, Jackson is threatened by forces more deadly than any weapon he faced in combat. When the mystery woman shows up again, he must discover whether she is a threat, a distraction, or the key to his future.
In a race against the darkness that threatens them, can Maeve teach Jackson to wield his new power in time to defeat the forces coming against them, or will the struggle to survive destroy them both?
