She is proven wrong when she's forced to cut herself off from the love of her life, Cole, in order to keep his new role as a seeker a secret.Without him by her side, Ava sets out to find other seekers and they help her embrace her new reality and better understand the system she's entrenched in. As time passes though, nothing quells her need for vengeance against Xavier, her rogue former handler, who's gone into hiding.Independence isn't easy and tough choices await Ava at every turn. She must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to change her destiny-if she can change it at all.

Since coming into her birthright of being a seeker for the Grim Reaper, Ava has made countless missteps trying to protect her loved ones, only to have it all backfire. Now she finally has the chance to settle the score with Xavier, the source of much of her misery, but sometimes revenge isn't all it's cracked up to be. Will she allow herself to take the vengeance she has thirsted for? Can she forgive herself if she doesn't?Even worse, her enemies are after Cole, who hasn't forgiven her for leaving, and they'll stop at nothing to find him.Ava is tired of the corruption and lies. Most of all, she's done hiding. This time, she's ready to rid herself-and the world-of the twisted handler-seeker system...for good.
