Shalia's happily-ever-after is shattered when her daughter is kidnapped. Shalia has at last found the love she's risked her life to win. She's got everything she could wish for -- an amazing career and a wonderful home for herself and her baby Anrel. Better still, she's the Matara to the best possible mates she could wish for in Clan Seot. Yet desperation spurs someone to commit an unthinkable act. When Anrel is stolen in broad daylight, Shalia and her clan will do anything to get her back. The kidnapping sets Shalia in a direction she never anticipated going -- and affects all the Mataras of Kalquor. Contains BDSM and multiple partner situations.
