Then the moon goddess chose two supreme leaders for the academy instead of one, and bound Lucien to the one person he couldn’t afford to want; Xavier Lockwood.
Now the only way to save his dying mother is to either rise above the golden boy who makes his blood burn, or to end the competition by killing him completely.
Every step toward saving his mother drags him deeper into Xavier’s orbit — and closer to a choice that will leave only one of them standing. And when that choice arrives, whose life will he truly choose to protect?
