About the Book
Since the implosion at
The Oasis and Derek's stay at Hawk Headquarters, The Shade has fallen
into a state of utter chaos. To make matters worse, the citizens of
Derek's kingdom have become suspicious of his loyalties and accuse him
of siding with the enemy... At a time when Derek desperately needs full
cooperation from his subjects, they wish to put their own King on trial.
Meanwhile, Sofia is being held hostage by the hunters. They are determined to rid
her of her infatuation with the vampire. She submits to the strict
routine and training they impose on her, but the only fuel that keeps
her going is the thought of reuniting with Derek - something Reuben is
fighting with every fiber of his being to ensure will never happen.
...Until one day, out of the blue, Reuben appears to have a change of heart and
comes to Sofia with a proposal; a solution that she never dreamed
possible. A solution that would fulfil her heart's deepest desires and
secure her and Derek's future together, forever.
But can she really trust this man who is so renowned for his hatred of vampires? Does she even have a choice?
