But instead of further discipline Kiernan finds himself sent to Great River where he is instructed to set up a Sidhe embassy in the mostly human city.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Struggling with the loss of magic and the absence of the man he loves the heart-bond he shares with Fionn is all that keeps Kiernan grounded. Then that same bond delivers the devastating knowledge that something has happened to Fionn something that has left him hurt and in pain.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Too far away to send timely aid Kiernan is left to decide if he can risk angering his Queen further by leaving his post to travel across the Isle. If he goes he risks his freedom and that of his loyal staff. If he stays Fionn might not survive.</span></p>
