Survival isn’t everything. I’ve fought to protect my family. I’ve bled for them, killed for them, and gone to jail for them. There is no fight I will not take on for them… I’ve been waging this war since I was seven years old. The only thing that’s changed is the battlefield itself. For Mayhem, I’ll trade in the grime of the streets for the illusions of her shimmering world. Only all that glitter is hiding a well of sin and corruption that leaves blood in its wake. This isn’t my world, but I won’t be defeated by it.

Roger Michael Easton IV, better known as Rowdy, flouted the family's Naval tradition to enlist in the Marines—not as an officer, but a ground pounding grunt. He never expected to see as much combat or valor as he did in the field, but every engagement furthered his commitment to his brothers in arms. Now, with an early offer on the table to end his contract, Rowdy has to take a long look at the life he left behind, the life he's built, and the future he longs to have.

Das Herz des Ganzen war ein Geheimnis und eine Lüge. Ein Geheimnis, das wir ihr nicht verrieten. Eine Lüge, die wir uns selbst erzählten. Emersyn Sharpe war mehr als nur das Mädchen, über das wir wachten. Emersyn war genau die Frau, die zu uns passte. Das Letzte, was wir hätten tun sollen, war, sie mitzunehmen, und das Schlimmste, was wir getan hatten, war, sie zu behalten, aber sie brauchte uns. Und ich war mir sicher, mehr als einer von uns, mich eingeschlossen, brauchte sie. Das Geheimnis war keines, das wir erzählen sollten … Und die Lüge?

Mein Name ist Emersyn Sharpe. Bis vor einigen Monaten war ich die Hauptdarstellerin einer Wandershow, die ihren Vertrag noch zu Ende erfüllen musste. Ich war geschlagen worden, aber nie gebrochen. Dann nahmen sie mich mit. Ich gehöre nicht in ihre Welt. Trotzdem nahmen sie mich mit, aber ich wusste nicht, warum. Sie versprachen, mich zu beschützen und für meine Sicherheit zu sorgen, aber sie hätten wissen müssen, dass ich weglaufen würde.

Von dem Moment an, als ich erfuhr, dass sie an unsere Schule kommen würde, hatte ich das Gefühl, dass es in einer Katastrophe enden würde. Warum hatte sich Kaitlin Crosse von allen Schulen der Welt ausgerechnet für unsere entschieden? Ihre Anwesenheit verwirrte meine Brüder und führte zu Spannungen zwischen ihnen, aber ich merkte bald, dass meine anfänglichen Annahmen über sie völlig falsch gewesen waren.

Emersyn Sharpe gehört nicht in unsere Welt. Eigentlich ist der letzte Ort, an dem sie sein sollte, bei uns. Aber jemand tut ihr weh. Wir haben es alle gesehen. Wir haben versucht, die Warnzeichen zu ignorieren. Wir haben versucht, den Menschen um sie herum zu vertrauen. Wir haben versucht, an ihre Welt zu glauben.

Die Pop-Prinzessin mit den leuchtend blauen Haaren, den vollen Lippen, den eindringlichen Augen und der Stimme einer Sirene … Musik scheint die einzige Sprache zu sein, die wir beide sprechen. Das ist nicht genug. Nicht für sie. Nicht für die anderen. Für niemanden. Ich bin nicht genug. Meine Brüder wollen sie, die Welt besitzt sie, und alle anderen wetteifern um ein Stück von ihr. Am Ende des Schuljahres ging sie weg und schenkte uns keinen weiteren Blick. Sie hat uns weggeworfen, wie sie ihren Vater weggeworfen hat.
