**** 
Constantine, Hendrix, Tristan, and Aleksander. Four dangerous men who will do anything to protect me. 
Constantine Ferreira, Tristan Amato, and Hendrix Knight. My three childhood best friends who grew into ruthless, powerful men. Constantine is my sanctuary. Tristan is my strength. Hendrix is my freedom. And then there’s Aleksander Stepanoff. Let’s just say, things are very complicated when it comes to my former enemy. 
These four men see the scars that mark my body as perfection and my darkness as beautiful chaos. A chaos that I will unleash upon the Society and the people who took everything from me. 
I’ve been used by everyone in my life. As a weapon, a pawn, and a bargaining chip. No more. I am Aoife Fitzpatrick. Daughter of James and Caroline Fitzpatrick and heir to the Council. I am also Syn Carmichael. The girl with the battle scars who rose from the ashes like a phoenix reborn. The heartbeat of two strong women beats inside my chest. As does revenge. 
With the support of the three men I love and the enemy I have come to trust, I’m going to take back my father’s legacy and punish those who betrayed my family… 
…and hopefully, somewhere along the road to vengeance, I’ll find my own happy-ever-after.
