A hit on the head whacks the Boy Wonder back into his real personality. What has he been hiding from the Titans this whole time? Better yet, what will these secrets do when he denies revealing them? And what about when old trouble comes into play? Will Robin remember these secrets in his new reality, or will they along with himself be lost forever in a different life?

Just four weeks have passed since Robin, or Dick, went back to being the leader of the Teen Titans and Dick is still adjusting to his new life as the adopted son of Slade Wilson. Balancing time with his friends and his father poses its challenges, and staying out of trouble is getting harder than ever; especially when his nights are plagued by the same terrifying nightmare. But amongst it all comes a new Titan, Terra. As they quickly accept this new friend into their group, things get more rocky than ever. Puppy love, infatuation, and jealousy abound Titans Tower and Dick must do everything he can to keep old friendships from becoming strained. But the upheaval surrounding Terra’s presence – one which includes trouble, heartache, betrayal, and renewal – will be nothing compared to the events that encompasses Slade; events that might even shatter Dick’s tender heart. However, things get even worse as Raven’s 16th birthday approaches. Mysteries, secrets, choices, birthmarks, demons – the end is nigh. As both sides of the veil thin, a battle of colossal proportions threatens to overwhelm the world – and even when the jaws of Purgatory opens its mouth wide with bared fangs, higher forces are always prepared with the perfect plan for the bite. New friends, new challenges, and new enemies lurk in the shadows for Dick, his friends, and his father. A story of friendship, of forgiveness, and of renewal; that no matter what, the supernatural forces that are in existence are always watching over those who reside on the earth; and finally, that sometimes for the ones we love, terrible sacrifices are made to keep them safe. For Dick, being the son of a military, firm handed, ex-assassin never got harder.
