affections for her, they both fall for the softer sides behind their similar
bulletproof personas. Lucrezia receives a mysterious warning about a sadistic
enemy threatening the Azrith and Lysander families. Once they discover their
nemesis’ true motive, Val and Lucrezia’s tyrannous devotion for one another is
all they can count on to survive.
