Lika feels he has bitten off more than he can chew, when Damien, Noah, and Seth talk him into taking them into Cantatis Saltus without their mates. They want to prove they are not weak, pathetic humans by obtaining the next log book... but at what price? When Jair and Terrin drop from the sky claiming Lika is their mate and that he needs to stop the foolishness and return with them, Lika gets pissed... and that is never a good thing. Learning the most powerful Magician, Cier, is in Cantatis Saltus, Jair and Terrin know that this task has just passed dangerous and entered into life threatening. Can the three men find common ground, work together and find the book before Cier turns up and kills them for even attempting to obtain something she deems as hers and hers alone. Will Lika accept his mates help, or will this little man do what he always does... go it alone and risk everything?
