      La porta sta per aprirsi, e non sarà la luce a venirti incontro ma la magia di un talismano dai poteri sconosciuti. Ombre oscure si avvicinano all'orizzonte, e una sola donna è in grado di dissiparle. Sei pronto a percorrere una strada disseminata di pericolo, sensualità e mistero? Da quando Mac ha scoperto di essere una veggente sidhe, la sua vita ha preso una piega del tutto inaspettata. E ora che la resa dei conti è inesorabile, di chi potrà fidarsi? Forse di un amuleto prezioso e antichissimo, che sembra proteggerla da sempre, oppure dello sfuggente Gerico? Tra piste false, esseri feroci, e la doppiezza di una realtà che non conosce pace, la giovane Mac dovrà tirare fuori tutto il suo coraggio, perché la sua caccia è appena iniziata e nulla potrà fermarla.

      When the immortal race of the Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making -- a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of all life itself -- can save the planet. But those who seek the mythic Song -- Mac, Barrons, Ryodan and Jada -- must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: The Keltar at war with nine immortals who've secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among -- and within -- themselves. Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And in those war-torn streets, Mac will come face to face with her most savage enemy yet: herself
