Publisher's Synopsis
Drayna Rennick, younger sister to Adrian Rennick from Laena's Elite, fights her destiny to follow in her mother's footsteps and take her place among the Elite. Instead, she carves out her own path in an attempt to wrest control of her own life before the Law requires her to give up her unencumbered life. With Eidolon-creatures running rampant outside city walls and the rumors of Eidolon-gifted numbers on the rise, Drayna finds her place comfortably as a cog in the military.
Free-spirited and playing by her own rules, Drayna has never had a lack of male attention, but she is determined not to be tied down until absolutely necessary.
A boy from her past
A brief encounter with the enigmatic River Halvorson spurs Drayna to know more about him and to uncover the reason his existence is what the Elite fears the most.
A friend with benefits
Stryker Rathbone had been in love with Drayna for as long as he can remember, but she always kept him at an arm's length when they weren't rolling around in the sheets. He longs to give her everything, including his long-kept secret that could throw the Elite world off of its axis.
The older man
Syn Fraser was the officer who taught Drayna everything she knows. A freak storm brought them together for just one night, and now he seeks to find out why Drayna deeply intrigues him.
Drayna's past with these men collides with her present, and the result could send shockwaves through the foundations upon which the Elite was built. As they make discoveries together that could affect the lives of innocents, human and Eidolon-gifted alike, their loyalties are put to the ultimate test. To win Drayna's heart, Stryker, Syn, and River must get over their differences and work together to uncover plots and deals made in the shadows.
It's a frantic race against time for the good guys to come out on top. If they don't, they risk losing so many innocent lives, and among them, the woman they love.
