'Through the ashes, the Phoenix rises'
-
When Maxine comes home one day to find her living room full of her brother's friends, she discovers that Nicholas, her brother, has been hiding a dangerous secret- he's gone back to fighting. The revelation shatters her world, stirring up the fear and trauma of their past, and she's overwhelmed by the thought of losing him again. 

Desperate to keep him safe, Maxine refuses to let him fight without her by his side. She steps into the gritty, unpredictable world of underground fighting, where she grows closer to his tight-knit group of friends. As she becomes more involved, Maxine starts to realise that there's more at risk than just her brother's safety, she's falling for Kit, the closed-off bad boy who's hiding his own wounds. 

Torn between her loyalty to her brother and the pull of a love she never expected, Maxine is forced to confront her deepest fears and the darkness within herself.

Now she's living amongst the wealthy, navigating all new territory, a life she is completely unfamiliar with. By chance encounter, she meets charming, popular, Hunter, who, sure, can be arrogant, assertive, and a bit full on, but is more than happy to welcome Auden to the town and introduce her to his friend group. Hunter is different from anyone Auden has ever known. He's magnetic and compelling, yet, also dangerous. Being with him makes Auden forget about everything else, especially her issues at home.
