Dr. Lily McMaster buries her face in her hands. I’ve got to keep my shit together.
Her best friend is in the psyche unit. Dr. Lily tries to make sense of Rachel’s hallucinations; a light, the Hound, the Awakener . . . the poor girl is now in restraints.
Lily searches the Web for anything matching Rachel’s delusions. An old article appears. Burning cabin, dead forest, circle of bloodstone boulders . . . four people dead. The little girl in the picture has a smudge of freckles under one of her pale-blue eyes—just like Lily’s. But that little girl is dead.
Lily arrives in the small town in the article and is inexplicably drawn to the beast of a man who will be her guide on the two-day trek to the site. Over six feet tall, all muscle and covered with deep scars, Gavin seems to resent her very presence. After Lily’s past trauma of abusive foster homes, she decides she’s better off trying to find the cabin on her own.
Out of nowhere, lightning splinters across the sky, followed by a powerful rumble that shakes the ground. The Council knows the Awakener is close to the bloodstone circle.
Darron held Tabitha tight, not wanting to let go. He would never let her go. He called forth the bond.
A bolt of lightning shot from his chest and pierced Tabitha’s heart. Her heavy eyes snapped open and she gazed at the energy passing between them. Darron’s body rattled violently when the power reached through time and anchored his soul to hers. The glow expanded until the room was filled, then it exploded into thousands of shimmering, radiant flakes of light. The flakes landed on their skin and were absorbed. His body hummed with new life.
Who would have thought at their first meeting, when she stabbed him in the arm trying to protect the Seer and he broke her nose, that Darron and Tabitha would become a bonded couple for all eternity?
Through all his lifetimes, Darron had never thought of bonding. But now that he’d found his mother, the Seer, and brought her to his sister, the Awakener, maybe, just maybe, he could have a normal life.
The visions his mother was having though did not bode well for humanity. The baby his sister was carrying would be known as the Time Eraser. The moment she was born, there was a good chance she would simply erase time for all eternity, plunging the universe into nothingness.
There was one chance they had to stop this from happening, but it would mean betraying his sister and handing the infant over to Marcus, the Time Keeper, a madman intent on killing Darron and his family in every lifetime they’d had. He was also the man Tabitha had been given to by her father. Marcus would be even less willing to help them after discovering his promised one had bonded with another.
The bonding of Darron and Tabitha would strengthen each of their powers, and they would need this for the upcoming bloodbond ritual; her power as a Soul Hunter and Influencer, and his as a Soul Hunter and…Death.
