Ever wondered how Cadoc and Zade ended up in Genesis? This is their story. From the pivotal moment on the cliffs of Synner’s Lake, with Zan’s death changing them into new people, Cadoc and Zade have no time to grieve. But their hatred and agony mingle, creating a tension so tight it acts as a tether between them. In the months leading up to their arrival at Genesis, Cadoc must learn to live with the loss of his true love, and Zade needs to channel his sadness into anger without letting it consume him. Really, their choice is simple. Live or die? Break a promise or keep it? While this is a prequel novella, it is best read AFTER Alter Arlo. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.
