To rescue someone close to her, Viv Abbot must team up with Reid’s violent, unpredictable older brother, Deacon. It’s an uneasy truce — but Deacon offers Viv something Reid never could: the chance to embrace her darkness.

Her mission takes her deep into the seedy underbelly of Astera, with none other than the White Stag as her guide. But when a bounty on Viv’s head puts everyone she cares about in danger, she is forced to go further than she ever imagined to protect them.

With enemies closing in, a clock ticking down on her life, and a betrayal waiting at the heart of everything she’s fighting for, Viv must save the Half City from destruction — and survive her second semester at Harker.

Because in a city where monsters wear familiar faces and temptation cuts deeper than any blade, survival will take more than skill.

It will take everything Viv has left to give.
