Kate had survived. She had lived through pain and torment and now she was on the other side, where all the happiness was supposed to be. But with Alec’s vengeful punishment for escaping him, she can’t touch anyone without hurting them.
Alec still wants to create a Level Five and he’s dangerously close. That power under his control would mean unraveling the world as it stands. The world Kate has not yet started to enjoy. She won’t be able to rest until her body, her mind is fixed, and Alec won’t get his beloved power without her help.
The two warring sides of Rogues and Shadows will have to meet. Kate will have to confront Alec and his cruel ambition once again. But every moment with the Shadows is detrimental to those she loves, especially Kylan. So she must find a way to outsmart the person who taught her everything she knows, the most feared Shadow in the world.
Kate is strong. She survived once. But even the strongest people can break with the right pressure, and Alec is ready to tear her life apart.
“Play me,” he challenged.
I narrowed my eyes at him. Thayer waited.
“I can’t.” I dropped my arms and the crowd wailed. “I’m not a Shadow anymore and I don’t have near the energy I’d need to face you.”
“Mara, you know I always have energy to spare,” Thayer said and opened his arms. “Get over here.”
I looked at him standing with his arms extended. The short sleeves he had on would hardly protect him at all. My fingers tingled as anticipation burned through my body.
I held my stance for a second. Remembering where I was. Inside a massive courtyard with ornate carvings on the stone trim. The smell of dust and angst washed through the air. It felt like the home in my memory, not a home I would want now. But familiar at least.
With as much restraint as I could muster, I looked back at Thayer, open arms and grinning from ear to ear. I could play a game. It was easy. Even if my stomach twisted at the thought of the Rogues seeing this life, seeing me in this life.
But if they wanted to accept me, then they had to know part of me would always be a Shadow. After all, there were far worse things I could have shown them. My body took over after that. I shot forward, straight into him.
My arms wrapped around his neck, touching his hot skin. The energy released immediately. Thayer caught me and pulled me in tighter. My breath raced from my skin touching his.
Energy careened into me, too fast and hot. I tried to stop it, tried to slow it down. But the power crashed through my body, igniting every nerve.
After a few seconds, I stopped trying to stifle it.
