The year is 1896, nearing the autumnal equinox, and Mason, the faery queen's ex-consort, has been hiding out in the human world for these past five months. Despite the requirement to hide his true self-namely his wings and pointed ears and the fact that he can harness magic-he has never felt so free. And so frustrated. Because he is currently sharing a home with Samantha. She is, as the humans say, the one who got away. And she wants nothing at all to do with him. He refuses to give up, and just as as he finally cracks the walls Samantha has built around her heart, the queen discovers his whereabouts. Now Mason must decide whether to return, thus saving his sister and her found family of exiled fae-or start a war with the queen of the Seelie. The choice is taken out of his hands when the queen kidnaps Samantha. His one true love. Looks like he's starting a war.
