In the conclusion of the Lake Cycle, two years have passed since the death of Donovan's mother and the time of the Plague. Don, writing more than ever, but more than ever in search of gainful employment and re entry into the real world, wonders what's next, as does is goddaughter, May, who's fled her house and come to live at 812 Pine Street. Donovan Shorter, Cade Richards and Simon Barrow are getting married, and the simplest process in the world, when turned into a union of three, necessitates reinvention and calls into question commonly held thoughts. Living together, Javon and Pat Thomas's love deepens the present as they look into their pasts, and in Ely, Cade confronts the recent death of his father as well as a choice he made long ago. Simon is entangled in politics when he joins the campaign to put his friend and mentor Brendan Miller in City Hall as the first openly bare-chested and shade wearing mayor of Rossford, Indiana.

At the end of a wicked winter, two years into their life together, Freddy Richards bursts into the home of Donovan Shorter and his love, Cade Richards to announce their father's sudden illness. As Donovan and Cade are drawn back to the small Michigan beach town where Cade's life begin, both of them must come to terms with things left long behind. Beside them will be Rob Dwyer and Isaiah Frey, first encountered in Eden, along with their untraditional family, and the fallout of their untraditional ways. As the mystery of Easter approaches, new characters and old characters come together on the edges of the thawing Lake Michigan to fuel a light that finds its fuel in the darkness, and a love that withstands all fear.

In Chicago, Owen Dunharrow arrives at a strange building with his nephew Uriah. After a snowstorm, a mysterious woman appears at his door. At Long Lees, the secluded and haunted desmesne of Augustus Dunharrow, Seth Moore's abilities increase while Marabeth concludes the journal of her great aunt Pamela. But she, Jim and Kris receive new gifts that will unlock old secrets. While Lewis and Chris Ashby remember secrets lost in another lifetime, Dan Rawlinson and Laurie travel with Myron and Tanitha to meet Rosamunde, the red gold vampiress who made him, and has been holding on to her own imformation for centuries. What will be discovered in visions and dreams, notebooks and old magics will not only illuminate the Strausses, but the Dunharrows and even the Drinkers in the house of Kruinh as our tale, begun in The Old, winds to its end. Everything is linked, all are connected, and the binding tie between them all is: THE BLOOD

THE BOOK OF THE BLESSED King Anthal came to the throne of Westrial vowing to protect magic, and all the ancient ways. But now he lies dying and witches, weather workers and Blue Priests alike fear the changes a new king will bring.

The modern politics of a kingdom begin to touch the legends of its ancient land, and reawaken magic long forgotten.

It is a story of lust and a story of innocence and how things which seem innocent on the surface are full of demons under the crust and then, in the center, wholly innocent again. This is a story about getting beneath THE SKIN OF THINGS
