With the horrors of the desert left behind and the terrible weight of Aidan's victory pressing down on him, he continues to follow Eallair on his journey to find King Arthur. Learning how to safely use his newfound magic, Aidan also has to figure out what it means to have the secretive sorcerer's love, and whether or not he can ever return those feelings. The only thing Aidan knows about love is everyone he's ever cared for abandons or betrays him. He has to solve the mystery of how he feels before Eallair's patience and understanding finally run out. But...it isn't the only problem they have, and it's definitely not the most dangerous.Unexpected magic brings unexpected abilities, ones that give them the location of Excalibur, the one object they need to wake the Once and Future King. With little time to plan, and a hunter close behind, they embark on the dangerous detour to break into the most secure building in the country. It's almost guaranteed to be a suicide mission, but a living, breathing Arthur is too important for the future. Even if one of them might not make it back alive.CONTENT ADVISORY: This story is the second in a serial trilogy. As such, it should be read after book one in the serial (Awakening Aidan). It also contains a "to be continued ending".
