Do you remember the first time you saw or captured a lightning bug in a jar? That sense of wonder is akin to what I felt when Houston introduced me to the Sary in her first book. In this, Houston's second Sary story, the wonder continues, and revelations abound.What happens when a Sary and a mortal fall in love? Is a match like that doomed from the get-go? I mean, after all, no matter what she looks like to him now, she IS more than 600 years old, and HE'S a still-wet-behind-the-ears college student. Does it matter that she's actually experienced the times and events he's only read about in a history book? Does it matter that she's immortal? Maybe not. Maybe the only thing that matters is he knows too much about the secretive Sary, so Fate may have to step in and kill the relationship... by killing him. Can she save his life? Can she save her wings? A lightning bug is just a bug without its light; what happens to a Sary if she loses her beautiful wings?
