Unable to get her out of his mind, Royce returns to Medford with Hadrian but the two receive a very different reception -- Gwen refuses to see them.

"Great series that ultimately wraps up with a nice bow. Lots of side stories still being published though. "
Michael Dix
"I don't know why this book seems to get so many 5-star ratings on Goodreads... it's predictable, preachy, and the character development is non-existent. There are a couple of times when I laughed out loud, but that was the only redeeming aspect of this novel. But having made it through all the other books in this series, figured I should finish up with this one just to round things out."

"Royce is epic, Gwen is brave, Rose is in love, Hadrian is resigned-- what more could you ask from a second book in the prequelseries to one of the best stories ever written? Very little. Absolutely love it. "
