Some magic changes you forever.

Sebastian Storm didn't dare dream of a future beyond Storm House. He never hoped James Gray might want to keep him. But it seems that's exactly what James plans to do.

Too bad they won't last. No one ever picks Sebastian, and he can't see why James would be any different, especially when Sebastian is keeping a secret he dreads having to reveal.

But he can't keep it to himself when the curse that's haunted him his whole life isn't done with him.

Sebastian should have known escaping wouldn't be easy, but he never expected the curse to grow or to face worse things outside Storm House's walls. Shades are wreaking havoc on Moonlight Falls as something even more sinister builds beneath the surface.

With so much at stake, Sebastian has to risk everything. He needs to know if James can be the one good thing in his life that lasts. To find out if they can stand together when things get worse, not better. And just maybe, they'll be able to build a future out of the rubble.
