I first met Theo Valentine in the women's bathroom. He was coming out, still tucking himself back into his jeans, a woman at his heel. He held the door open for me to pass and smirked.

It was impossible to keep my distance from the brooding single dad after he came to my rescue.

War is waging between the Black Bloods and the Paragon Dawn. The time has come for the other kingdoms to pick a side.
