Kiev A-Morridahn must pay. This is the vow Nyx Fortuna has sworn. Keeping it is all but impossible, but it is the one thing that motivates her. Whatever she must do, she will do. Whatever she must sacrifice, she will give. But if she succeeds, she'll have to reckon with everything she's pushed aside in her quest for vengeance. As it turns out, feelings—and friends—don't like being ignored.

When Nyx's quest to discover the secrets behind the Harvester's rings leads her to the Meerkin homeworld of Kyvren, she's only too happy to have an excuse to visit them. Since going their separate ways from Arkadia's Station, she's been unable to find any information on the state of their planet—or their attempt to reclaim it—and she only knows of one entity capable of covering up a civil war. Of course, the one person who could probably answer every question she has is also the last person she wants to ask.

It's easy to feel forgettable. Nyx literally is, and the condition seems to be getting worse. Homeless and alone, she's at the end of her rope when she stumbles onto Earth Between, a nexus between worlds. The residents may be magical and alien, but they don't have any problem remembering she exists.

Schatten, die flüstern, Geheimnisse, die nicht länger verborgen bleiben, und eine Liebe, die sämtliche Hindernisse überwinden muss... Mel ist Journalistin, lebt in Verona und glaubt nur an das, was sie sieht. Bei Recherchen für einen neuen Artikel stolpert sie über seltsame Vorkommnisse. Jemand verfolgt sie, oder bildet sie sich das nur ein? Je tiefer sie in die Geschehnisse eindringt, desto unerklärlicher werden sie. Als sie dann auch noch von ihrem Vater ein altes Erbstück ausgehändigt bekommt, steht ihre Welt Kopf.

Nyx has finally managed to dismantle the magic keeping her from her missing memories, but things are a bit . . . fractured. Her mind keeps slipping into different points in her past, and she's not always aware of when the present is. The issue couldn't have come at a worse time, because she finally has a lead on the Kumir—the race of identical assassins who have hunted the Hidden to the brink of extinction—but following that lead involves another interstellar trip.

Life at Nyx's Station has been a little tense of late. There are the fugitives she's hiding, the Harvester of Worlds she still doesn't know what to do with, and then there's the ex-boyfriend she's been avoiding. So when someone from her elusive past shows up in Earth Between, Nyx jumps at the distraction—and the chance to finally get some answers. The only problem is, her childhood friend Seth has no intention of answering any of those questions.
