Eden is sent to Uoria and given the task to test the blood of the Denynso. Only, that's against the rules. She doesn't want to be that close to them, anyway. From everything she'd heard about the species, they are more temperamental than her, but her boss' ultimatum gives her no choice. She goes and gets what he wants or she loses her job, her livelihood.

On Uoria, Ellora, Athan, and Mhavrych make their way back to the Mikana kingdom using a mysterious form of travel that Mhavrych won't explain but that seems to have the power to bring them far distances in mere moments. Once they've arrived, they confront Creia and Rey with what is happening, and all must decide whether they should hurry back to Penthos as fast as possible or if they should remain on Uoria longer to better prepare.

It is the night before Rey, and the group of humans and warriors will return to the settlement to free the Mikana, and just days before, the others will climb aboard the shuttles headed for Earth so that they can celebrate Samira and Ty's long-awaited wedding. Everyone is coming down from the adrenaline of the last few days and trying to decide what they should do. With so much still left to be done on Uoria, and so many questions still left unanswered, the couples must decide where they are most needed, and how they are going to move forward from here.

Still reeling from the final battle that eliminated the Klimnu and took one of their own, the Denynso warriors gather to honor the life of Jem and talk about the strange discovery of the mirror world beneath the compound. One warrior - volatile and unpredictable Bannack - is enraged by the existence of the other realm and the realization that none of them, not even their king, knew that it was there. Eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first child, Pyra finally agrees with Bannack, realizing that what he doesn't know about, he can't keep away from his baby.

Scattered across two planets, the Denynso and their allies are driven to pull back together as the beginning of the war rages around them. As the group on Earth tries to escape the laboratory, Eden faces demons from her past and vows to break herself free from Ryan's torment once and for all. What they discover, though, could leave them at his mercy with nowhere to turn.

Sweetest, nurturing Ty has been looking forward to finding his mate his entire life, but now that he is facing that exact situation, he doesn't know what to do. The student that came to Uoria with Zuri when the professor returned to be with Ero is stunningly beautiful, but is also so young. He doesn't want to take advantage of her, but the longer she is on the planet, the more he realizes that she is the one for him.

After an attack by the Klimnu, Eden's knocking on death's door. Pyra rushes her to the Denynso healer, and it turns out he has to do more than heal her. He has to bring her back to life. It's the first in Denynso history, and no one knows what to expect or how things will go for Eden. A side effect of the healer's gift is a link bonding them together forever. Pyra is struggling to deal with his mate's attachment to Ciyrs and doesn't know what to do. The more he fights it the more the wall between him and Eden grows....

Eden is sent to Uoria and given the task to test the blood of the Denynso. Only that's against the rules. She doesn't want to be that close to them anyway. From everything she'd heard about the species they are more temperamental than her, but her boss' ultimatum gives her no choice. She goes and gets what he wants or she loses her job, her livelihood. When Eden arrives she is confronted by Pyra, a man who believes he is god's gift to women, but she thinks he's a jerk and doesn't have time for his games. The more she dislikes him, the more her body yearns for him.

After days of his nameless mate being in some sort of coma, Gyyx can't take it anymore. Eliana gave him the key to make her better, but he didn't feel right, and after all the testing Ciyrs has put her through, he knows it's time to test the theory, but he still feels weird about it. He takes her home and hopes his touch will bring her back to life. He can't go on without knowing who she is, or what she suffered in the hands of the Klimnu. But when she wakes up, will Gyyx be able to convince her he isn't taking advantage of her or like the ones who kept her prisoner?

Suddenly surrounded by the fearsome-looking Covra, Lynx can only think of protecting Rain. Still trying to process that this beautiful woman is human, the warrior only cares that she is intended to be his mate, and fights off the spider-like creatures coming into the room, but soon falls victim to their horrifying form of warfare. Bannack and Pyra must race to find Ciyrs and heal Lynx before he is lost to the Covra. Back at the Denynso compound, the women are struggling to deal with their emotions of having their mates so far away.

The last Klimnu attack had a much deeper impact on Ero than he thought it would. Ever since he found Leia after she killed her captor, he has been filled with aggression, anger, and a sense of violence that he just can't shake. It has caused him to get into several fights with the other warriors, who are always able to get the upper hand because Ero is so much smaller than they are. Eventually, he turns to running. He runs farther, faster, and harder than he has ever run, trying to escape the strange emotions and uncomfortable physical effects.

Gannon doesn't know what's happening to him. The emotions that he felt the moment he saw Willow hit him so strongly, and he can't get her out of his mind. This is unlike anything that he has ever experienced, and though everything in his heart is telling him that he wants to be near her, his mind is holding him back. Willow knows that something has changed in Nana's home, but she doesn't know what. The gorgeous man in the greenhouse appeared seemingly out of nowhere in the weeks since Willow has visited.

With the first real battle on Penthos raging around him, Azra can't get his mind off of Elise. He fears for her safety, but just as much, he fears that she will not be able to handle everything that is happening around them and that he will lose her. As the warriors fall around him, though, he knows that he has to focus on his mission there and not allow himself to let the Denynso, or any of the rest, down.

The Klimnu. With those two words, the world around the Denynso shatters and suddenly, nothing is what it seemed. Now that Maxim has revealed the change of his skin and Ciyrs has administered his own vicious test, the warriors are convinced that they are witnessing the second coming of these grotesque enemies, and Pyra knows that he has to take control. His methods, however, prove destructive, and soon Maxim and Ivy have to make decisions that will determine the course of the rest of their lives.

Still separated by the planets where they are, Maxim and Ivy long for one another as they face some of the greatest challenges of their lives. On Penthos, a discovery on the ship creates chaos and causes Maxim to reach out to Avery for help, hoping he can rely on the knowledge of the human pilot to keep everyone safe. It is the words of his father, however, that remind him that his greatest priority is still the woman he loves and the life that they are building together. When he sets out on a mission by himself, he encounters danger that might take all of it away forever.

With the hatching of the Covra young beginning, the group from the Denynso compound is hurrying to get to the settlement as fast as they can. When a comment from Ivy makes Zsilvia think differently about the Light Ones and their locked state, a single communication with the men changes everything. Now the warriors are fighting a battle they hadn't prepared to fight, and together, they must decide whether it is more important to preserve lives that began long ago, or eliminate the threat to those who are still just getting started.

With the journey to Penthos nearly over, Rilex and newly-named Severine wake in each other's arms. Something has changed between them, but with the danger still building around them and so many more questions to answer, neither is sure they are ready to find out exactly what. As the ship prepares to land, they part to get ready, and Severine overhears a conversation that brings all of the changes that she is facing crashing around her. In an instant, she can no longer see the future that she thought she might be building, and she wonders if she can ever really get beyond her origins.

As the universe hangs in the balance, all will fight for the past and for the future. When mysteries unravel and truths are finally revealed, all sides will gather for the war that can bring it all to an end.

For years, Aegeus has been legend on Uoria. His death in battle has become lore, overshadowed only by the discovery that he didn't die when he walked into that fateful battle, the clash that brought what many thought was peace to Uoria. All those years Aegeus spent in the clutches of Ryan, witness to the cruelty and madness that drove the scientist. He watched and he waited, knowing that one day he would have his chance again. Aegeus tells his story the way that only he can, through the memories that he struggles to retain.

Feeling the effects of the decision that he made to leave the Order, Malcolm is trying to get accustomed to being away from the hierarchy and in the home of the beautiful but strange woman that Athan chose. The tension between them is obvious, but he has no choice but to accept the shelter that she has offered or face the danger posed by an angered and betrayed Order. Neither fully trusts the other and both must learn to either compromise and embrace the feelings that are growing between them, or put everything that they all have been working for at risk.
