Villains aren't the only ones good at keeping secrets.
Months ago, Black Mold and his gang of villains attacked the city of Stalwarth, leaving mass destruction in their wake. Little did Ember and Aiden know it was just the beginning of the villains' plans.
Ember is determined to uncover the truth about her parents' murders. But as she unearths secret after secret, Ember wonders who she can trust. Are the Guardians truly selfless heroes, or are they just as conniving as the villains they fight?
Meanwhile, Aiden's dream of becoming a Guardian is turning into a nightmare. His power grows alongside his anger. Is he cracking under the pressure, or is something more nefarious at play?
Ember and Aiden promised each other nothing would tear them apart as they try to solve the secrets surrounding them. But to keep that promise, they'll have to risk the lives of those they love the most.
