In the war, it was simple, "kill or be killed". Now myth-touched Kaja will have to put her life on the line and partake in a dangerous game with the enemy.

After a series of setbacks and deaths, the Scáthanna finally have a lead on their mysterious adversary. A name alone is hardly enough, but Cathal has a plan, so when Lady Eithne's orders put Kaja back in the center of Trinity's troubles, the Scáthanna will make their move... hopefully before their enemy does.

Yet, Cathal's mission verges on suicide, and when death comes courting, Kaja is desperate to find another dance partner, even if it means making deals with the Snake's servants. Pitched against the mastermind of manipulation, Kaja will have to risk everything.

One false step in this dance, and the whole of Eireland will pay the price.
