Leah escaped The Order, but the people she trusts with her life are still keeping secrets from her.

When the man who helped deliver her into The Order’s hands resurfaces, Leah is determined to uncover the truth behind his betrayal. Instead, she finds herself drawn into the history of an ancient curse, a bloodline condemned for generations, and two lives bound together by a fate neither was meant to survive.

While Leah searches for answers, Nico is haunted by a past he has spent years trying to bury. He has fought to become someone The Order can no longer control, but the shadows of his childhood are proving harder to escape than he expected. As old memories begin to surface, Leah senses that something is changing in him, though Nico refuses to tell her what it is. 

As The Order closes in, the lies holding Leah’s fragile family together begin to unravel. To protect the people she loves, she must confront the truth about her past and the power stirring within her, even as the man she would do anything to save slips further from her reach.

Leah has already learned what it takes to escape The Order. Now she will discover what it costs to stand against it—and that not everyone she loves will survive.
