As a spider-kin seer, Liliana's eyes can see the future. What she didn't see was her visions leading her out of her voluntary seclusion and into the lives of the first friends she's had in decades. Friends Liliana just rescued from the deadly venom of widow spiders.

Determined to keep the warmth of belonging and stay out of her shell, she looks into the future again and sees death. Her friends Pete the red wolf, Siobhan the fairy sprite, and Nudd the goblin doctor will all die soon-if she doesn't take steps to nudge the future and discover who was behind the widow spiders.

Except saving her friends will tie Liliana even closer to the handsome and dangerous Unseelie prince Colonel Bennett, and her heart may not come out of that battle unscathed.
