On the heels of the enemy

They say Paris is for lovers. If only this trip across the ocean could be that simple. We should be wasting time in cafes and dreaming about our future—the one I'm determined to fight for, the one Isabel truly deserves.

Instead, we're here on the heels of the enemy. Focused on a bigger prize, the secret society that's been hunting us is now being hunted. They just don't know it yet. We're so close I can taste it. So close I can feel my grip tightening around them. Each day we know more. Every revelation unmasks a new player.

Thanks to old alliances, we're that much closer to crippling their plans. Just when we're closing in for the kill, we're stopped dead in our tracks. And the only path forward will tear our worlds apart.
