Taliesin Reid is done being brave. After an intense disease sets him back a grade, all he wants to do is fit in when he returns to school.
Befriending Melody Auden, the beloved daughter of the richest family in town, isn't part of the plan.
Melody's been told her whole life that she is the chosen one. Underground magical oppression festers in her family's history, but she will set things right. That's her destiny.
Protecting someone who needs her help-like Taliesin Reid-is part of the job. And anyway...he might be useful.
As Melody's plans spiral and Tali gets swept up in her confidence, both must ask themselves: what does it take to be a hero...and what are they willing to lose?
