Aisling Trilogy: Book Two

To reveal the intricate machinations threatening them, two men must learn to trust each other. But how can they, when their hearts and minds--their realities--are subject to manipulation?

When he set out to escort the prisoner Wilfred Calder back to Putnam, Constable Dallin Brayden didn't anticipate the political betrayal and malicious magic threatening their lives at every turn. To his surprise, he slips into the role of protector--and it's more than duty compelling him to ensure Wil's safety as they're haunted by strange dreams. But does Wil dare put himself in the hands of a man he believes wants him dead?

Wil's past weighs heavily on him, tainting his perceptions as he struggles his way through a tangle of lies. With both will and magic as his weapons, he fights desperately for survival--and his soul. For the Aisling is coveted by more than the Guild and the Brethren; ancient gods and soul-eating spirits also want what lives within him. His only chance might be Dallin and his goddess, the Mother, who Wil has been taught to despise above all others.
