Rhiannon, the evil queen of the Seelie Court, demands no less than all Unseelie Fae, half-human and half-faery, to be killed.  A feat she is sure has been completed, until her people sense a powerful new Unseelie Fae within the town borders.

Trapped by a contract of indenture, Mina Cole will spend years working as a slave in the factories to pay off her life debt.  While Mina senses she is different, until Duncan RiDahn enters her life, she has no idea how much power she holds.  Duncan knows she is Unseelie Fae and plans to teach her how to use her powers.  However, the extent of her power also terrifies him. 

Duncan’s first love was also powerful, but she died following a face-off with the queen thirty-five years ago.  The battle left Duncan paralyzed, and he feels no woman could ever love him again.  When Mina’s attentions become obvious, Duncan fears not only for Mina, but also for the Unseelie Fae who he has worked to band together to form a safe community.  Only one woman can make or break what he has spent years building, that woman is Mina.
