Her memories were missing, and in their place was nothing but an echoing scream.

Now at Coralie's side, the Phoenixes of the Four Cardinals are where they've always belonged--but with her memories missing, all she sees them as are strangers. Her entire existence is consumed by the harrowing scream that leads to nowhere, tormenting her in places even her magical men can't reach.

The source of the scream--and the memories lost--consume their Lady, and these four powerful men are brought to their knees as they begin to fear the worst. Love has always conquered all, but can it rebuild what's been lost, or will the Ascendant conquer not just their hearts, but their very soul?

Sometimes that which is lost cannot be restored, only rebuilt from the ground up.
