But when she finds herself pregnant with his twins, her world is thrown into chaos. Fleeing from both Alaric, the man she once loved, and the powerful enemies she has made, Faye tries to carve out a new life in the shadows of the city. But Alaric isn’t the only one hunting her.

She must navigate the dangerous world of the city's elite, filled with betrayal and hidden alliances, while keeping the biggest secret of all—Alaric’s children—out of his reach. With enemies closing in from all sides, Faye has no choice but to face Alaric and the truth of their twisted relationship. As their old wounds are reopened, and new dangers arise, Faye must decide if she can trust Alaric or if her only option is to destroy him before he destroys her.
