Turning eighteen with his final year of college underway, Liam O’Connor should be focused on A-Levels, his relationship with Tariq, and life beyond college. Instead, Lucas Martindale is appearing in his bedroom in the dead of night. His secret could put them both in danger—and keeping it means Liam must hide the truth from those closest to him. Opel Everleigh is struggling to hold together her fragile relationship with Theo, whose responsibilities within the Guild are pulling them apart. But as her faith in the Guild fractures and the Bloodtaker threat deepens, the divisions between them are harder to ignore. As the uneasy peace between the Bloodtakers and the Guild begins to unravel, a centuries-old agreement could be all that stands between them and war. With both sides closing in, the five Keepers are about to find themselves caught in the middle—with devastating consequences.
