England, 950 C.E. On the night of the equinox, all eligible adults must choose a partner to celebrate the night. Lovely, part-fey Fianna is both desired and feared. Prudence dictates Fianna choose one of the young men who’ve been stalking her for an equinox companion. But impulse guides her otherwise.

Henrik, an outsider like Fianna, finds both Fianna and her proposition intriguing. But Henrik warns she may not find his unusual desires to her liking.

Their passion is hotter than the equinox bonfires. But time and circumstance are against them.
