Ambitious young Mage Samara hits a dead end in her research to unlock the secrets of a recently unearthed arcane manuscript. Out of options, she commissions Darian, a warrior of the Manu tribe, to lead her to one of his people's renowned seers. The secret they discover, however, leaves them hunted at every turn as they become entangled in a plot to tear open a portal to Hell, releasing a legion of bloodthirsty demons upon the world. Thrown into a struggle neither fully understand, and complicated by a mutual attraction that neither will acknowledge, the pair must race hundreds of miles before the sun rises on the equinox to head off a cataclysm that only Samara can stop. That's assuming Darian can keep them both alive long enough to reach their goal. But between assassins, demons, fae, and the very land itself trying to kill them, the odds are not in their favor.
