Tobias is gone.
And the bond between them is silent.

With Tobias missing, Ava is left clinging to a connection that grows weaker by the day. The bond that once tied them together has been muted, stretched thin by distance, pain, and whatever is being done to him behind the scenes. She can still feel enough to know he is out there. Enough to know he is suffering. Never enough to reach him.

But Tobias is not simply lost.

He is being hidden. Moved. Broken apart piece by piece while Victor keeps his true intentions buried, dangling Tobias’s release like a promise Ava cannot afford to ignore.

As the search drags on, the cracks within their fragile family begin to widen. Trust starts to fray. Tempers burn hotter, every choice feels heavier than the last, and the people Ava relies on most are no longer standing on steady ground.

Time is running out and Tobias is slipping further from her grasp, Ava is forced to confront the terrifying truth that love, power, and loyalty may not be enough to hold them together.

With Dax tightening his grip to protect her, alliances cracking under pressure, and enemies closing in from every side, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

There's more than one type of bond that can break you.
