Blain McTavish has no idea what his future has in store for him. He believes that he must be falling victim to an illness or disorder that is not only stealing his health but also his sanity. How else can he explain this need to run naked in the forest? The only saving grace through his ordeals is meeting his uncle, Hugh McTavish. Blain thought that with the unexpected deaths of his parents he was alone in the world. Hugh not only brings family back into his life, he brings Afton O’Malley and Shayla Gallagher. Blain’s life begins to go from odd to downright unusual. He knows these women are different, he just doesn’t know how different.

Afton O’Malley is a Druid that has yet to develop the most basic skills of her people. Yet, her mentor, the Sorceress of the Ancients, asks her to accompany her on a mission to retrieve a lost member of the Order. Afton thinks this member is an infant, little does she know that he is in fact a full-grown flesh and blood man. When she finally meets him, the awareness between them surprises them both. Blain McTavish has lived his life unaware that his parents were once part of a mythical order of beings. Is Blain strong enough to acknowledge the truth of his parents’ past and the impact it has on his future? Will he even have time to accept the changes being wrought, including his feelings towards Afton as an enemy from the past seeks their final revenge through him?
