There is need. And then there is Fate...Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outletisn’t exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria’s “other half” iseverywhere she goes. Seth’s in her training room, outside her classes,and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection doeshave some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragicshowdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels forthe forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--andsacrifice--for her.When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods sendfuries--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenantsand to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. And if thatand hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn’t blow bad enough, amysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, evenif that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her.When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.
