Gods still roam the world, and it's up to Miriam Cait, her lover dragon Xander, and their friends to stop them before the joined worlds are destroyed.

Problems closer to home, however, need their attention. A summons brings them back to Viridi Silva, the woods along the southern border of Xander's lands. There they find themselves thrust between two opposing sides, each laying claim to the forest. A truce seems impossible until a threat greater than both sides arises from within their own ranks.

A shaky trust is formed against their common foe, but old hatreds threaten to destroy the fragile truce as Miriam and company must perform a battle of wits as well as power as they fight not only for control of the forest, but for the lives of their friends, as well.
