They used him to unleash her power. Now, they want them both for their army.

Aris

I thought my past was the only monster I had to fight. I was wrong. A new nightmare began, illusions leaving real burns on my skin. They used him, my only safe place, as bait to force out the chaotic lightning I can barely control. I saved him once. Now, with a secret army of summoners hunting us, I’ll become the monster they’re so afraid of to keep him safe.

Xander

I promised to be her shield, but they turned me into their weapon. They chained me in a fiery hell, all to make her break. She came for me, unleashing a storm of lightning I'd only dreamed of. They want her for their war. They want us both. But I made a promise. Anyone who touches what’s mine will burn, and I’m just getting started.
