Danny's cousin Tom has been killed--and forgotten. All memories of Tom have been erased, as though he had never existed. For a while, there is peace. Until Danny remembers.

Determined to restore what has been lost, Danny seeks out Cath, living far from civilization. But other troubles loom. Shadows are spreading across the land, leaving the earth gray and lifeless. Danny and Cath must work together to set things right--but are they even on the same side? And as they close in on Sammael, the dark presence responsible for Tom's death, will one of them pay the ultimate price?
