Lux Orcus's weekend checklist: ✔ Almost died. ✔ Accidentally awakened a ridiculous power. ✔ Got recruited by a suspicious organization. ✔ Acquired three mentally unstable teammates. Now monsters, hidden powers, ancient secrets, and increasingly terrible life decisions are hunting him. Apparently, his bloodline is tied to something far older—and far more dangerous—than he ever imagined. Surviving his enemies might already be impossible. Surviving his team? Much worse.

Some things aren't supposed to wake up.He doesn't remember how long he slept. Only that he shouldn't have both — the wings that mark him as one thing, and the halo that refuses to admit he ever stopped being another. Whatever he is, the world wasn't built to have a name for it.He wakes to find that world unrecognizable. Vampires and werewolves no longer hide — they run companies, sit behind glass towers, walk in daylight like they've always belonged there. But something is wrong beneath the surface of things. A weakness that was never supposed to last this long. A lie old enough that no one alive remembers it is one.And then there's her.She doesn't know what she is. Doesn't know that her blood carries the answer to a question four factions have spent centuries pretending was already settled. Doesn't know that the stranger she bumped into on the street was never really a stranger to any of this at all.Two vampires want her. Two werewolves want her. Not all of them for the same reasons.But only one of them already knows exactly what it will cost to let her keep everything she has — and hasn't told her he's willing to pay it.Some debts don't get repaid. They get erased. Along with whoever owed them.
