"Mortals die. It's what they do." Rory understands. The death of his lover Takeshi is a devastating blow from which he can't bear to recover. Lorcan takes it upon himself to coax his friend and ally back to life. Then an innocent gesture of affection places them both in the center of an explosive scandal, forcing them to make choices they might otherwise never have considered. Magic requires sacrifice. Will their friendship survive the pressure of Nightwalker politics, or will their relationship be just another casualty of war? This novella falls after Moonlight (Book 3) in story continuity.
