Despite our best efforts, my devoted monstrous men and I have fallen into the clutches of one of our most powerful enemies.

I’m running out of options.

And it will keep Eva's mother from bothering her about marriage.

My men and I lost our bid for freedom. But nothing in our new prison is quite what I expected. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop fighting. I just have to make sure I pick the right battles. Especially when it isn't just our lives but those of the kids who came after us on the line.

Avalon has always felt different and alone. The ocean, along with the friends she’s made under the water, is the only constant in her life. Then Xander comes for her, reluctantly, judging by his snarly attitude. But, attitude aside, he draws her into a fantasy world, one filled with family and friendship and...the home she’s always craved. He gives her the smallest glimpse of perfection, only to then inform her that it’s not a world she can have. Political issues in Royale will make her time there temporary.

We're finally free—and we intend to stay that way. But our most dangerous enemy has plans that could upend the entire world. To carry out those plans, he's making more like us. More people twisted into something monstrous and forced to serve his psychotic ends.

I've let myself become more of a monster than I ever wanted to. Now the shadowkind are flocking to my side, eager to stand with me.

I'll find my way back to the life I was supposed to have.

Something important. I thought the Sinners had my back, but am I right about that? Or, are they just playing me again? Among the privileged elite of Hawthorne University, not knowing who to trust can be deadly.
