Eden is sent to Uoria and given the task to test the blood of the Denynso. Only that's against the rules. She doesn't want to be that close to them anyway. From everything she'd heard about the species they are more temperamental than her, but her boss' ultimatum gives her no choice. She goes and gets what he wants or she loses her job, her livelihood. When Eden arrives she is confronted by Pyra, a man who believes he is god's gift to women, but she thinks he's a jerk and doesn't have time for his games. The more she dislikes him, the more her body yearns for him.

When Aubrey comes home with a story from work about a colleague who once explored a factory owned by the Orion Corporation and discovered strange rooms and other odd happenings, Jonah knows that he has to keep digging. A return to the medical ward reveals something that turns everything that he thought he knew upside down, and he and Aubrey must decide what is the most important and what they should do next.

Still reeling from everything that they have learned, the Denynso, their mates, and their visitors continue to cope with the new information as they prepare for their separate journeys. As Pyra tries to convince Eden that she and the new baby should remain on Uoria rather than traveling to Earth and Gyyx tries to convince Creia that he should join his people as they travel for the wedding, Ero and Creia struggle with internal forces that make both question who they are and how they will move forward.

Sweetest, nurturing Ty has been looking forward to finding his mate his entire life, but now that he is facing that exact situation, he doesn't know what to do. The student that came to Uoria with Zuri when the professor returned to be with Ero is stunningly beautiful, but is also so young. He doesn't want to take advantage of her, but the longer she is on the planet, the more he realizes that she is the one for him.

Still reeling from the final battle that eliminated the Klimnu and took one of their own, the Denynso warriors gather to honor the life of Jem and talk about the strange discovery of the mirror world beneath the compound. One warrior - volatile and unpredictable Bannack - is enraged by the existence of the other realm and the realization that none of them, not even their king, knew that it was there. Eagerly anticipating the arrival of his first child, Pyra finally agrees with Bannack, realizing that what he doesn't know about, he can't keep away from his baby.

As they move toward the settlement, the group that is heading to free the Mikana starts to delve deeper into the past and what brought them all together. Ivy continues to struggle with her choice to come to Uoria and how much her life has changed - both for the worse and the better - since she arrived. Desperate to know more about the mate to whom he has devoted his life, Lynx asks Rain difficult questions about her past and how she and the other humans from Nyx 23 got to Uoria.

It is the night before Rey, and the group of humans and warriors will return to the settlement to free the Mikana, and just days before, the others will climb aboard the shuttles headed for Earth so that they can celebrate Samira and Ty's long-awaited wedding. Everyone is coming down from the adrenaline of the last few days and trying to decide what they should do. With so much still left to be done on Uoria, and so many questions still left unanswered, the couples must decide where they are most needed, and how they are going to move forward from here.

As those that returned to Earth continue to prepare for Ty and Samira's wedding, Eden encounters a group of women from the university who are startled to see her, but will not tell her why. Suspicious that they know what is happening, she goes to the laboratory to confront Ryan and discovers that the motivations behind him sending her to Uoria are far more complex than she could have imagined.

It has come time for the Denynso men to say goodbye to their mates as they prepare for their journey through Uoria. Each spends some special time with the woman that he loves, and each of the women have a token of their adoration for their man so that he can think of her when he is away from home. These special gifts perfectly exemplify who the women are, and the men tuck them away gratefully, happy that they will still have tangible reminders of their mates during their journey.

Across Uoria, secrets are being revealed, as Lila, Maxim, and Creia continue to dig into the past to understand what happened on the planet years before and what might happen if they don't work to stop it. As they finally unveil who has captured Creia and why, they realize that they need to leave Uoria in order to have a chance to save it.

As Jonah continues to delve into what the mysterious patient files and the pristine examination room in the abandoned medical ward might mean, his mind keeps wandering back to the woman he encountered in the hallway outside of the lab. It was only a brief encounter, but one that left a lasting impression. When he sees her again, it might have lasting influence on the work that he is trying to accomplish and the life that he may have now that he is back on Earth.

The groups have divided like they never have before. Maxim, Ivy, and Kyven have made the decision to go back to the Mikana kingdom to unravel the mystery of their father's death and understand more about the order. Accompanied by a few of the humans from the settlement, as well as Denynso warriors and a few of the Mikana, they head out into a journey out of which none of them really know what to expect.

After an attack by the Klimnu, Eden's knocking on death's door. Pyra rushes her to the Denynso healer, and it turns out he has to do more than heal her. He has to bring her back to life. It's the first in Denynso history, and no one knows what to expect or how things will go for Eden. A side effect of the healer's gift is a link bonding them together forever. Pyra is struggling to deal with his mate's attachment to Ciyrs and doesn't know what to do. The more he fights it the more the wall between him and Eden grows....

Ciyrs continues to lose his mind until he finds Eliana. However, she's come with another woman who is unconscious. No one can figure out what happened and he can't get her to wake up. Neither can Eden. Eliana feels so many things. She's happy she was saved, but she can't stop thinking about the woman she saved. Something about the woman calls to her, but in the meantime she has to deal with the fact that her mate is connected to Eden, and that means so is she. There are too many emotions to take. It's time for the Denynso to fight back.

Leia is used to spending her life hiding the pain and torment she faces, but now that she has found her mate, Gyyx has proven to her that she can feel safe and loved. It has been a few weeks since she escaped the clutches of the Klimnu and the warriors burned the prison to the ground. Now she feels it is time that they know what really happened to her during the 57 days they imprisoned her. Leia shares the story of how what she thought was going to be the opportunity to study and learn turned into a terrifying fight for her life.

The Traitor Ullie is dead, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the threat of the Klimnu that hangs over the Denynso. The discovery of a mysterious rock tunnel and the realization that it might have been an integral part of Ullie's traitorous assistance of the Klimnu sends the entire clan into a flurry of action. Now fully mated to Ty and completely devoted to living her life as part of this clan and this planet, Samira dedicates herself to uncovering the mystery of the tunnel.

The last Klimnu attack had a much deeper impact on Ero than he thought it would. Ever since he found Leia after she killed her captor, he has been filled with aggression, anger, and a sense of violence that he just can't shake. It has caused him to get into several fights with the other warriors, who are always able to get the upper hand because Ero is so much smaller than they are. Eventually, he turns to running. He runs farther, faster, and harder than he has ever run, trying to escape the strange emotions and uncomfortable physical effects.

After days of his nameless mate being in some sort of coma, Gyyx can't take it anymore. Eliana gave him the key to make her better, but he didn't feel right, and after all the testing Ciyrs has put her through, he knows it's time to test the theory, but he still feels weird about it. He takes her home and hopes his touch will bring her back to life. He can't go on without knowing who she is, or what she suffered in the hands of the Klimnu. But when she wakes up, will Gyyx be able to convince her he isn't taking advantage of her or like the ones who kept her prisoner?

Zuri can't believe she let herself fall into the arms of the arrogant jerk who thinks that she is too big to be respected. Now that she's slept with Ero in the heat of the moment, she knows she can't stay on Uoria any longer. The combination of the Klimnu attack, the insulting jokes, and the fact that she can't stop thinking about the beautiful warrior and wishing she was back in his arms is enough to make her run, and she does, right back to Earth. Is this the end of Ero and Zuri?
