There's no leaving the Veiled City, not now. I'm in it, my heart is tied to Nico, Holter and Eros. But there's one more who I yearn for: Castor Drakos.

I can't have him. I know the perils of him loving a human, especially for someone on the verge of becoming king.

My pod also has to accept Castor, but I fear they won't. Too much is at stake.

It's never been more dangerous below the ocean's surface. Attacks rain down across the city. My mates will do anything to keep me safe, even if that means being kept in hiding.

I'm no stranger to research. I'll figure out what is happening and why these attacks seem tied to Nico's parents' death so long ago.

But there are people who want me dead too.
