August Black risked everything to find her brother, joining a deadly secret society protecting the chilling truth that monsters are very, very real.

She can’t stop replaying the memory of their forbidden kiss that Virgil wants to pretend never happened. Their strained bond is put to the test as they prepare for the Monster’s Ball, a brutal tournament where pairs battle for the coveted title of Master.

And if the three of them can’t work together, they’ll be kicked out of the tournament before it even begins.
