The wind-battered isle of Altnaharra hides a deadly secret, and the clan that lives there is ready to end the world and begin again.
Among them is Eve, a young woman desperate for power and willing to do anything to claim it. As the Adder—a dark force of unimaginable strength—nears, Eve prepares to prove she’s worthy of its legacy.
But when a murder brings Chief Inspector Black to their shores, the clan’s ritual takes a deadly turn.
With the future of Altnaharra at stake, Eve must choose between the power she craves and the truth she can no longer ignore. If she fails, not only will she lose her chance at greatness, but her entire world may fall.
Will Eve risk it all for power, or will the island’s secrets destroy her first?
