As tension in the house builds and war whispers from the shadows, Sereya begins to uncover secrets her father died with including a betrayal that might lead directly to Kaelen.

And Selene intends to strike first.

Caleb isn't working alone. Someone bigger, more connected, is playing a long game and they've marked Emery's family as targets. But the deeper they go into the ruse, the more real it feels.
