Synopsis
Aodhan and Illium have moved from friends to lovers and are finally back together in New York. Both belong to Archangel Raphael's Seven, so they have little time to settle into their new relationship before duty calls. They take on a case for the Tower that echoes the darkness of Aodhan's own past, and it forces them to face old scars. Illium is also dealing with a growing power inside him that he cannot fully control, and with the looming threat of ascension, which would change his place in the world. That prospect worries Aodhan and threatens Illium's wish to remain among the Seven. The story is framed as a turning point that brings both heartbreak and joy to the two men.
