After all they'd cost me, I thought I was done with the Truss clan. I was wrong. Nikki Dawning, my mortal enemy, has been kidnapped, and I've been asked to spy on a hive of Truss to help find her. The pull between Ian and I has never been stronger, but he can't help me this time. I have to rely on Theron, a bad-tempered cousin I didn't know I had, to protect me if it comes down to a fight. But how far am I willing to go to protect the common good when I'm not sure what the common good really is anymore? I'm starting to feel like I'm being used...as a weapon. If I'm going to be the next Laurel clan chief, I can't afford to let that happen.
