But Morena can’t just pick up the pieces and move on. Knowing what Elijah was capable of, and with a thirst for justice, she makes a deal with him.

Elijah, battling new demons unleashed by Morena’s trauma, finds himself both guardian and partner to a young woman whose scars run as deep as his. They both must decide how far they are willing to go to right the wrongs of the past.
