After spending three years as sex slave to the twisted Kadin, Krystallina finally escapes, with the underlords horde hot on her heels. But when Sarek, guardian of the misted forests, rescues her, she wonders is she escaped one evil master only to be thrust into the arms of another. Krystallina has never learned to trust, and shes not sure now is the time to start. Sarek believes she is his soulmate and destined to become his wife, but he also realizes her servitude to Kadin does not make her particularly interested in exchanging one master for another, no matter how perfect that someone may appear to be.

Discovering her life in danger again, Krystallina flees once more, only to be saved by another dweller of the misted forests--Gar, who bears the title of companion-apprentice to the Master Magician Sarek. Suddenly, Krystallina is torn. These two seductive men are nothing like Kadin, and within the forest spun with sensual magic, shes finding the misted forests, and their guardian and his companion, very hard to resist. Obviously, this is a crisis Krystallina must resolve one way or the other.


Can she truly love Sarek, who claims she is his soulmate from another life? Will Gar help her to resolve her dilemma, or only confuse her more? Or will she find herself running yet again...but this time, from her own heart?
