"A morte e ritorno. My family's motto circles in my mind as I look this problem dead on and try to figure it out. I've faced worse than this. Survived worse odds than this. I won't let this failure break me. We have 72 hours to turn this around. 72 hours to make a new plan out of the dregs of the old. 72 hours until all hope is lost. This task is impossible, but I still like my chances. I have an ace in my pocket and his name is Mason Cain. He might not want to help me, but I don't plan on giving him a choice in the matter. My name is Rosalie Oscura. And I refuse to let anything beat me."--Amazon
The King will fall. While I continue my hunt for the Fae who killed my brother, I have to try to keep my heart away from the vicious boys who could be responsible for his death. But as my investigation leads me down a dangerous road and answers seem closer than ever before, I'm whisked away to the elite school, Zodiac Academy, with the four Kings and my heart becomes more vulnerable than ever.
"Freedom never tasted so bitter. A stolen love, a strangled curse. A heart of sin. And a fate touched in moonlight. My men weave a tangled web around my soul, and I've formed a pack that will go to death and back for me. The moon hangs low over my heart as the call of the endless sky draws me closer and I find myself lost in the abyss that was waiting for me out here. Fate has left a bitter taste on my tongue, the haunting echoes of the past mocking me at every turn. But I'm not a pup anymore, and I won't let another ten years pass without mending the rift in my heart. Darkness draws near enough to devour me but I have forged a pack of wild creatures at my back and I won't be pulled into the grip of despair. I'll find the stars in this endless night and force them to hear me howl. I am Rosalie Oscura and I will claim my happy ending, even if I have to claw if from the hands of destiny itself"--Cover, page 4.
There's more to my brother's murder than I realised... Shadows in the halls, mysteries lurking around every corner. Whoever killed him is covering their tracks well. And now I'm walking a dangerous line between getting close to the four kings for information and wanting to crawl deeper under their skin for my own desires. I can't trust anyone. I can't let my guard down. And I must keep the urges of my body separate from my heart. But I'm starting to break all of my own rules. I just hope I'm not falling for my brother's killer.
