Dick Grayson is not the easiest person to be around, but Cassie is the only person in the entire world who has been there for every single part of his life. All the good and all the bad. All the Dick, all the Robin, and all the Nightwing. So to put it into simple words the two ex-circus kids were best friends, but of course, nothing is ever that simple in their line of work.

I sadly do not own Titans nor anything DC related, just Cassie and her additions to the amazing show that is Titans.
I also do not know who made the artwork for the cover so if you know the artist please let me know, I just kinda found the image on Pinterest.
Dick Grayson's life has never been easy, but he'd like to think it's been going better lately. He's been operating mainly out of Gotham again for almost a year, and has been in a steady relationship for just over. He knows where he stands with crime-fighting, and the family is all on pretty good terms, considering.
Things are really going pretty well.
Unfortunately, the balance doesn't last long, and old horrors from Dick's past end up dredged up alongside new ones.
This is a story about love and family, but equally so about trauma and healing from it. Please heed the warnings in the preface.
