Everyone knows that a seer must never take life, but no one seems to know what happens if they do.

Stígandr Tovarsson never dreamed they would learn the answer to that puzzle, but one night a prophetic state leads them into the forest where they stumble upon a pair of spies. Still half-caught between reality and the spirit world, Stíga accidentally kills the men and finds out first-hand what it means when a seer takes a life.

Now, stripped of their family name and their inheritance, faced with a life without hearing, and plagued by visions of being pulled into the ocean's depths by a Sea Folk man, Stíga chooses to follow the magic that constantly pulls at them. It leads towards the sea, but when they get there, will they find a cold death by drowning, or a chance for mutual healing in a pair of deep brown eyes full of anger, hate, and desire?

Nico Silver lives like a hermit on the edge of the woods, but haunts used bookstores like a wraith. They fully expected to be found someday as a mummified old corpse crushed under a toppled to-be-read pile, but the rise of e-books has made that somewhat less likely, though the books will always outnumber even the dustbunnies. Nico will read just about anything, including the instructions on the back of medicine bottles, but has a particular fondness for good stories with a hint of magic. They write dark, sexy urban fantasy and fantasy romance, and sometimes dream in black and white.
