Desperate times call for desperate measures… Helena's mind is set. She wants to learn blood magic no matter what and employs the help of a powerful warlock through her connections. Her actions create an even greater rift between her and Lucious. Shutting her eyes to the growing relationship problem, she isolates herself while burying her head in books. When her mentor arrives in London, he's not what she expected.

That is until she is told that Lucious may be responsible for everything bad that's happened.   Lucious is losing hope and his mind the longer he works for The Order. Their leader is a tyrant and claims it's for the benefit of their kind, but Lucious knows better than to trust those sugar-coated words. When he shuts his eyes to rest, his mind is riddled with realistic visions of killing Helena. Every waking moment, he spends fearing that, one day, those nightmares may come true. And, deep down, he knows they will.   Love, tragedy, pain, and loss are around every corner. Can Helena and Lucious make the ultimate sacrifice to undo the dreadful future?
