Challenge is coming. Shani and Masud, the duo comprising the earth Elemental Sphinx, can feel it in the unusual tectonic shifts rattling the walls of their home in India, their refuge. This overwhelming sense of impending doom tells them it’s time to return to Egypt. After decades away, they are strangers in their homeland. And to each other. Somewhere along the way, the most critical piece of their combined power—their mental connection—weakened and snapped, leaving their power vulnerable and their hearts adrift, even as another Challenge bears down on them.

Iona instantly recognized her fellow barista, Sebastian, as someone like herself. Other. Not human. Though he’s an American werewolf and she’s an Ifrit - a Middle Eastern being of fire - she is drawn to his deliciously coffee-dark eyes, which flash silver only for her. But she can’t indulge any smoking-hot fantasies. As soon as she graduates, she’s leaving San Francisco. Before her controlling, male-dominated clan finds her. Before the city’s Elemental Phoenix notices her presence and drives her away with her (probably burning) tail tucked under.

The last time the Elementals were defeated in a Challenge, the result was World War II - a price humans paid in rivers of blood. Griffin is determined not to let that happen again. He doesn’t need a minor goddess getting in his way - no matter how much the redhead tempts him. Clea intends to invoke a debt of honor to gain Griffin’s protection, but she has an ulterior motive: to get within striking distance of Griffin’s opponent, who she is certain killed her brother. She never expected to feel a spark with Griffin, disturbingly seductive as he is.

When a gorgeous winged man rescues her from a pack of werewolves, something flares to life inside Rachel. Suddenly, she can see the paranormal world around her, a world unseen by mortals. When Phoenix's massive wings erupt from his back, he knows his Challenge - an age-old battle against his Demonos counterpart - is upon him. Heeding Rachel's cry for help adds a layer of complexity never seen in any previous Challenge.

Vadoma should have learned the joy of freeing her Vântoase air talent at her mother’s knee. Instead, tragedy landed her in a virtual prison, controlled by her overbearing Aunt Bizzy...until the woman abruptly hauls her off to France—and Vadoma realizes this is no impromptu vacation. Bizzy has broken with the Vântoase tradition to take a side in the upcoming Challenge between Elemental and Demonos. Worse, she’s offering up Vadoma as a pawn to help the Demonos win...in whatever way the Yalungur—a massive eagle shifter—wishes to use her.
