Immortal Knight William can finally hang up his sword, at least for a little while. His mate, who had been brutally murdered, was reincarnated and returned to him. August is safe in the lodge, and William's new mission is to make sure August can recover from his traumatic past and to keep him safe from the threats still lurking. August is still getting used to going from rags to riches, but he wants to contribute. William is strong and powerful, and August had made peace with the fact that his mate will need to go out and fight the forces of evil, and that he might come back injured. Everyone around him his tense and nervous and, with a friend kidnapped, if August is going to find his place in a world of shifters and witches, he will have to come to terms with the fact that he will be more of a burden rather than a true partner.
