“They could have killed me, but I survived.”

It’s been three years since Rory Riordan thwarted her own assassination and she still doesn’t trust anyone.

She doesn’t trust Dr. Z, the peculiar college professor who has taken her under his wing; neither does she trust Benji, the good-looking classmate who just won’t stop following her around.

Cy, the dark and strange boy who sits in the first row in Dr. Z’s Astrobiology, isn’t spared either.

When Rory however witnesses Cy’s kidnapping by soldiers in the dead of night, she finds herself harboring more secrets than she could possibly imagine—secrets way darker than her own.
