She can speak to the dying and the dead, and she can see the reapers, collectors of souls. Risa Jones, half-Aedh/half-werewolf, can enter the realm between life and death. "New York Times" bestselling author Keri Arthur returns to the enthralling Guardian World-and a twilight realm of danger and desire. The one thing that does surprise, the one thing she cannot accept, is the fact that Michael no longer remembers who she is. Nor is she truly surprised to discover that a barrier of magic surrounds the old town, leaving her to battle Weylin with only her wits, strength and the one psychic gift she cannot fully control. She's not surprised to discover that Weylin Dunleavy, the brother of that long ago murderer, has set in place events that will mirror the past in order to raise his brother's spirit from hell. The trail leads her to the ghost town where Michael had once killed a madman. Especially when Michael is shot and kidnapped. But when one of the testers attempts to kill her, she realises buying a wedding dress is the least of her worries. Nikki James wants nothing more than to pass the Circle's strict entry exams so she can get on with the business of planning her wedding to Michael. Now the brother of that man is out for revenge, and he intends to destroy all that Michael holds dear in the process. One hundred years ago, Michael Kelly hunted down and killed the sorcerer responsible for murdering his lover. Sometimes the past not only haunts, but destroys.
