This Isn't What We Planned
It's not every day she meets a murderer from her homeland. Especially not the son of a Preserver.
18-year-old Kalea has more than enough on her hands. The summer solstice's planning, the Plague, the failing cure, and now this? Especially when Jax wants to leave himself, for reasons he won't explain.
That's when an unfortunate love begins to bloom. They're polar opposites. They hate each other. They don't want each other.
But they need each other. Even if their relationship is just poison that's been tainted to taste sweet.
Then, on the night before the solstice, everything shifts between them. One moment puts them dangerously closer than ever...and onto a path they never planned.
