There are traitors within the United Council and it is up to MYSTIC Canada to find out who they are and take them down. If not, all MYSTIC agents around the world could die, leaving the community sector at the mercy of not only the Nefarious but the Councilmen as well. Detective Mark Franklin is one of the few born without any gifts. But everyone knows he is the only man that can infiltrate the Council and find out who is behind the attacks on their sister agency. However, when Xavior makes a comment about a non gifted man being unable to do the job, Mark becomes infuriated and says he will not mate with a man that has no faith or belief in him. Can Xavior fix his blunder and earn Mark's trust back, or will his mate walk into a possible death trap, alone, just to prove a point and die in the process?
