Some things you can't take back. Some choices destroy everything.

A dark prequel to the Rishi's Wish series, discover the tragic origin story that set everything in motion. Perfect for fans of Kim Harrison and readers who crave morally complex characters and devastating choices.

Today was supposed to be the day Steve's life changed for the better.

No distractions. No roommates. No more cowardice. Just him and the girl of his dreams—the girl he's finally ready to tell how he feels. After a year of friendship, today is the day he steps into the light.

Four words destroy everything.

In one second, his future becomes a speeding train bearing down on him. Unable to escape the fate that forces him to betray his love, Steve succumbs to the circumstances that have long ensnared him. 

She's no longer his friend. She's subject 10-0-9. 

And he must watch her suffer the procedure none has survived. 

When she wakes—the first to survive—Steve realizes the nightmare has only begun. 

Hoping she'd survive was nothing compared to this. Some things you can't take back. Some betrayals can never be forgiven. And some monsters are made, not born.
