Synopsis
Nix Monroe came to Foxglove Grove with a short plan: find the man who abused his cousin, then leave. He expected to handle the Demons, a trio made up of Lake, West and Yejun. They had other ideas, and the longer he stays near them, the less of himself he keeps.
Nix is now bound for good to the Demon next in line for the throne. What began as a pretence of being their boyfriend has turned into something he cannot back out of.
A hidden danger to all of them waits for an opening. Something Nix learns about the cousin he came to avenge leaves him unsettled.
Each Demon wants something different. Lake is set on catching the hacker and securing the crown. West is increasingly focused on Nix in a physical way, which points to an open-door romance. Yejun does not know the secret Nix is holding back.
Only a couple of weeks remain before the Night of the Nightshade. Nix and the Demons have to name the threat before then, while it looks as though nobody else around him can be trusted. The question running through the book is whether Nix can lean on the Demons as they claim, or whether he is a pawn in their game.
