Carson (a poisoned witch) escapes from Magellan, who has kept her cloistered and sheltered in his home since she was taken from her parents as a child. She escapes as a young woman and meets up with the fiend/warlord Nikodemus, who's supposed to kill her, lest he end up enslaved by her. They form an alliance and endure serious hardships to overcome Magellan.

This book definitely introduces the characters and shows how they owe fealty to Nikodemus and Carson, since she severed Harsh, Xia, Kynan and helped Iskander. I wasn't put off by the mind-linking (only) sex between Iskander, Nikodemus and Carson. I saw it as a way to renew Iskander and cleanse him from what he'd been through. The sexual link between twins is alluded to, but not fleshed out. I guess if one is willing to read about fiends changing form and having sex with humans, one needs to be somewhat open-minded.
