War is coming. Its destruction darkens the skies of a broken Earth.

The unholy forces of Skye's mortal enemy and one-time mentor, Hunter Wolf, gather to destroy New Denver and all that Skye has built with the help of the sometimes sorcerer Marlin and King Arthur's mythical sword Excalibur. She's no hero, she knows this. She's only a former mercenary and loner, a survivor.

The smart move is to run once again, to save her own skin.

But Skye has fought for a home among the desperate refugees flooding into the city. They chose her as their leader, ignoring her bloody past, trusting her. She has promised them a future free of Wolfe's evil and given them the one thing in short supply—hope. And, she has finally found hope of love with Lance.

How can she let down those who trust her, the man who loves her?

No, Skye is done with running, with surviving. This time she fights.

Even if it costs her everything...
