When fate intertwines their paths and the Gemini Institute sends Chris on a mission to confront Protogenus for their crimes against supernatural beings, Jem is prepared to defend her new company and her new friends. However, an unexpected force binds them together—a profound and undeniable connection that neither of them can resist. The Aethor Institute had created them to be each other’s perfect mate.
