A year after the Texas Revolution, Mattie and Dane are haunted by the demons unearthed during their harrowing ordeal trapped in a cavern five months prior.

Mattie’s once-powerful divining gift has abandoned her and she can’t help but suspect it’s tied to the brooding ex-Ranger who appears to have done the same. Even as she struggles to rebuild her life in San Antonio de Bexar, she can’t forget the power of Dane’s embrace or the way his walls slammed back up in the harsh light of day. 

Dane can’t escape his memories of the Goliad Massacre, or the dark intimacy he shared with the captivating water diviner. But guilt and duty compel him to keep his distance—he knows better than to yearn for a future he doesn’t deserve.

Their fates entwine once more when a mysterious threat to San Antonio’s water supply endangers the entire city. As they race to uncover the source of the crisis, the connection they forged in darkness flares to life once more.

In a desperate bid against time and their own doubts, can Mattie and Dane summon the trust that once ensured their survival to save the city of the Alamo? Or will the flood of danger—and long-buried desire—prove too powerful to withstand?
