Having my birth mother back in my life? To say it's a big transition is an understatement. Especially when she's basically a stranger to me, and I'm not sure yet whether I can trust her to be any more maternal than the average fearmancer parent (which, spoiler, isn't much). Unfortunately, the other barons aren't giving me time to ease into the situation. They've turned their sights on my fellow scions and newfound lovers, putting them under fire from far too close to home. As if that wasn't enough, an unsettling plan is unfolding that threatens every student on campus.

She’ll learn to be stronger and fiercer. She’ll learn to face Hades’ darkness…the same darkness lurking inside her.

Or so I thought… Twenty minutes later, I saw actual Mac exit after the media left. Apparently, he’d used a decoy to throw off the press—waiting until everyone left to make his getaway in private. I started following the real Mac, and got more than I bargained for.

Gone is the happy-go-lucky boy I knew, replaced by a brooding, mysterious beast of a man.

Staying away from him should be easy. It should be a no brainer. Never date coworkers. Period. Especially one who could get me fired with the snap of his talented fingers. The consequences to giving in to temptation could be dire. Everything I’ve worked for could vanish. Getting closer to him could prove to be catastrophic…. Or it could be just what the doctor ordered.
