Knowledge is power, or so they say. I'd wanted answers, but the cost was higher than I was prepared to pay. I'm supposed to be powerful, one of the last of my kind, yet I feel anything but. I've let down my friend. Someone who's never given up on me despite our differences and how crazy I might drive him. My bonds are strained, and the people I love keep getting hurt because of me. I won't keep letting that happen. No matter what it takes or who I have to turn to for help. They think Ryker is a monster, and maybe he is, but I'm not afraid of him.

Everything about my life has been pretty normal working as a forensic autopsy technician. Until the day I woke up with a mysterious symbol tattooed on my arm. Suddenly normal no longer existed.

Farley Jones is being forced to date Meyer Harrigan, the man she has come to love, in order to make all of her stand-up dreams come true. It's agony-a tragedy, even.

So, all joking aside, the stakes are especially high when it's not only her career, but both of those relationships on the line.

I wanted answers. To know who I was and where I came from. How had I ended up in those woods all alone? Why didn't I have elemental magic like everyone else? What made me so different? I thought I wanted it more than anything, but I was wrong. Everything is spinning out of control as my past and present collide, leaving me feeling like a stranger to myself. I always wanted to find my home, a place where I belong, but what if home isn't a place? What if it's a feeling? Home is with the guys, and while they might drive me up the wall with their alpha tendencies, I wouldn't change a thing.

Every night, when I close my eyes, I relive that moment. The heat, the smoke, and the cruel smile on her face. For the longest time, I believed them. All I wanted was to find a place to belong, to be needed. But who could ever need me, a prey shifter? How can a rabbit be useful, especially when I lack elemental magic?

Nate was supposed to be the reason I wake up in the morning, until he took that reason away. Now, I'm left feeling like an empty shell of the girl I used to be. He's going to come running back, and when he does I'm going to make him work for it. Thank God I have my girls and Jesse—without them I'd be lost. Oh, and I have Ashley Samuels and Phoenix Reilly keeping my mind busy. They better watch out because I've got nothing else to lose and revenge will be sweet.

I died. It was supposed to be the end of my story. But after Aon buried me in the Pool of the Ancients, I learned that Under wasn't done with me yet. Even though I escaped death the first time, there's a prophecy predicting my demise, and it's driving Aon mad. His desperation to protect me is dangerous, deadly, and I'm afraid of what he might do. The void that threatens to destroy this world is receding, yet Under is still not safe. I can feel it in my blood, the warning that something terrible is coming. Something bigger and stronger than all of us.

Some call him a madman. Others call him a warlock. Both are true. But if it wasn't for Aon, I'd be dead.

The more time I'm forced to spend with him, the more I start to piece together the puzzle of why Aon and Edu are at war. Despite how everyone else seems to hate Aon, there's something that pulls me towards him - like gravity, refusing to let go.

College? How did this happen? One minute I'm starting my senior year of high school and the next, I'm in college. Let me repeat myself. How did this happen? I can't even begin to understand the crazy amounts of drama I've suffered through over the past 12 months, but I've never been so happy to say it's over. I'm more than ready for this next step in my life. I came out of my senior year with Nate by my side and a future to start building.

I thought I was safe to move on from the horrors of the past few weeks, but I have never been so wrong.
