Beloved Son (Aisling, #3)

Newfound love might not be enough. Trust holds the possibility of both salvation and damnation. Circumstances having forced them to seek asylum in Lind, Wil and Dallin find themselves at the center of an approaching convergence they're not sure they're strong enough to face. The power of the land and the Mother wait for Wil in the bowels of Lind, but it comes with strings attached. Or maybe chains. With Dallin's help, Wil must find a way to defeat the soul-eater and save the Father, Her Beloved, and manage to keep his soul in the process. Friends are not necessarily friends. Trusted mentors are not necessarily to be trusted. And good intentions are sometimes the most dangerous sort. Through deduction and magic and mutual strength, Dallin and Wil must accept their roles as the Guardian and the Aisling, and stand together against a ruthless god in a climactic battle of dreams and wills, the fates of both of their souls and those of all mortals hanging in the balance. Except, what good is the strength of love if the one who needs it doesn't know how to trust?
