Kingfisher.

Edira Brillwyn is not enjoying retirement. She's traumatized and heartbroken by Orin and the battle at Fernglove Manor. Although her brothers are safe and financially secure at home in Willowfell, she fears of wasting away her dwindling lifethreads. It's a welcome surprise when Seville comes knocking at her door – at least until she reveals that the blight has returned to the Ferngloves.

Edira has had a taste of the power her heartbond with Rorik provides, and she's certain there is a way to cure the blight for good… with Rorik's help. But Rorik doesn't think his life is worth saving, at least not worth Edira's few remaining years, or months. He's more concerned about keeping her alive than saving the world.

But other powerful Ever families have caught wind of Edira's talents and are desperate for a cure. As those families begin circling, centuries-long conflicts rise to the surface and, once again, Edira finds herself at the whims of power-hungry Evers fighting for their lives. Before she runs out of time altogether, Edira and Rorik will have to face the source of the blight: Death himself.
