Description:

Their first winter together is at an end, and the relationship between Ufrid, Nicky and Herfod has survived, but it's been a troubled association. Herfod has kept his doubts about Ufrid's motives hidden, but he's certain, because the Goddess subverted Ufrid last autumn, that his lover will soon betray him.

Complicating the situation, Nicky has lost her sense of foresight. Something is going to happen, and Herfod can only hope that he will survive it long enough to keep Ugoth and his angel from destroying Ufrid.
