    I thought surviving Sterling Falls was the worst of it. 
    I was wrong. 
    Saint doesn’t remember the last two years—doesn’t remember the war we fought, the people we lost, or the way we burned for each other. To him, I’m a stranger. To me, he’s the man I can’t let go of, even if it feels like starting over with a ghost. 
    Reese shows up on the island, raw with regret and determined to prove he’s changed. 
    Kade follows, carrying secrets I’m not sure I want to uncover. 
    We’re trapped together in a place meant to heal but built to break us. And beyond the waves of Isle of Paradise, Ouranos is tightening his grip on Sterling Falls, tearing the city I love apart piece by piece. 
    If we can’t put our past betrayals aside and fight as one, we’ll lose more than the town we swore to protect. 
    We’ll lose each other. 
    And this time, there won’t be a second chance.

    Nemesis and Warrior must be read prior for continuity.
