After defeating the Brotherhood, Maeve O'Neill is ready to reunite her scattered people. She has three days to convince the splinter groups it's safe to come home, but their summit isn't off to a good start.
Maeve's romantic ties with the Aeternal Council's newest member, Silas Valeron, are raising questions about her allegiances. The splinter groups are making unreasonable demands. And worst of all, an old flame shows up uninvited, and everyone expects them to rekindle their romance.
Maeve holds everything together as best she can until a mysterious Fate reveals a series of events that will lead to Silas's death. She can prevent the disastrous future by stopping key events, but hidden enemies are sabotaging her every move, and the summit is on the verge of falling apart. If Maeve can't figure out a way to change their fate, everything she loves might end up broken.
