Tyler Garrett and Alexis Taylor have been best friends since they were young.

What Alexis never knew is that Tyler isn't normal. He's a proxy—a child chosen to serve a higher species called the Fates. And Tyler was born a proxy.

Tyler has always been rebellious, and to deal with rebellious proxies the Fates bind each one to another human of their sexual orientation. When their mate dies, so do they. When they die, their mate feels the connection snap. If a proxy is away from their mate too long after meeting them, they go insane,

Alexis is Tyler's mate, and he will do anything to stay with her.

Too bad the Fates have other things in mind.
